The participants/organisations offered information settings for parents, and they think of organising a BASKI-Model for parents. People with disabilities reduced contact to their parents because they wanted to live independent, they did not want to be treaded as children.
It would have been necessary to train relatives as well, because people with disabilities changed their behaviour and this affected their parents.
People with disabilities wanted to go out alone, or stay with their friends at Hermes organisation. Parents liked this development but it was unusual and frightening. It might be good to involve parents in this process of BASKI.
back to ContentsThe participating organisations will continue with the BASKI-Model at Lebenshilfe. There are already a few groups who will continue with the programme. BASKI should become a quality standard at Lebenshilfe. BASKI is implemented as a philosophy at Lebenshilfe. Therefore Lebenshilfe is organising an information programme dealing with this philosophy. Different departments already offered to organise a budget for it. It will be necessary to organise a pool of trainers and coaches.
Participating organisations will integrate BASKI in their daily work.
HERMES does not know, where, when and how to continue. The best will be to integrate the model in different running programmes of the institutions. HERMES would need more time in the BASKI-Training groups to let people with disabilities express themselves and to feel their needs.
back to ContentsFor example dealing with symbols during the BASKI-Training groups:
Participants of the BASKI-Trainings were used to communication with symbols. They usually use them in their daily life. Therefore using symbols was very helpful for the trainers.
Participants and trainers of the BASKI-Training were not familiar with the for example “board maker-symbols” at all. They have different meanings for different symbols and of course a different sign language. People with disabilities can hardly connect the symbols with emotions.
The organisations of HERMES are not using symbol cards in their daily working routine with people with disabilities. People with disabilities at HERMES normally create symbols themselves. Therefore the developed project symbol cards were not successful in Greece.
back to ContentsPeople with disabilities always ask for permissions to do something. They asked “do I have the permission to talk?” Therefore trainers asked themselves what is behind this permanent asking for permission. For some participants the BASKI-Training offered them the first time in their life that they can act and speak without asking someone, if they are allowed to do so.
Fears of people with disabilities are the fears of their parents. The fears of parents turned out as challenges for people with disabilities to live an independent life.
back to ContentsTrainers and carers organised extra sessions with extra settings for some special subjects, which were not discussed at the BASKI-Trainings. Such special subjects were sexuality and aggression.
Trainers experienced the same in Bulgaria. Not all subjects were discussed in the BASKI-Training. So they organised special workshops for the subjects “girlfriend and boyfriend”, relationships, having children and so on.
back to ContentsLebenshilfe would organise more information settings – people with disabilities who would have already experiences with BASKI should explain it to others. Doubtful carer should be invited to come into the group to loose their prejudices. Maybe more further education for carers and manager of organisations about the philosophy of BASKI-Model.
All Models within the BASKI-Educational Programme should be more connected with practice.
Everyone of the organisation should be involved into the BASKI process or in the BASKI-Training. If carers could take part in a BASKI-Training, they would understand the philosophy in a better way.
back to ContentsAustria the beginning of the BASKI-Training trainers thought, that they must know every methodical didactic material and the contents of the BASKI-Training Curriculum, that they must solve every problem that they have to be able to handle every group and so on. But after the pilot run they enjoy just having a setting, having time to be together with the group and see what they need. Austria the end the trainers are more relaxed.
Trainers very happy to have this programme as something new Austria the beginning and they want to continue with it. Bu it is hard to organise it. Social workers and therapist want to implement the philosophy in their work with people with disabilities. The pilot run was important to practice the material. Trainers are happy to have all the products to work with. It is a good tool for them.
Carers and trainers had a very positive attitude towards the BASKI-Model from the very beginning and it did not change during the pilot run. At the end they were more used to it and therefore they use BASKI methods more frequently.
