A MicroboardTM is a group of family and friends (a minimum of 5) joining with a person with a disability to create a non-profit organization. A Microboard is focused on the person’s self-determination, empowerment, and supports planning using a person-directed approach.
People and families that choose to invite others to form a Microboard fundamentally believe that:
- Building strong and abiding relationships is central to a person’s security and well-being.
- Everyone has the capacity to express their will and preferences in some way.
- Sharing power and decision-making with others to ensure that the person is heard and understood.
- Everyone deserves and wants to have a sense of purpose in their lives.
- Families are able to sustain a person’s relationships and decision-making powers for when they are no longer alive or capable to assist.
Microboards help people to express their hopes and dreams and work with others to design individualized and customized supports that are aligned with their personal vision of the future.
