"Lori Parker and Ruth Newell are expert facilitators of Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope”

“I have had the honor of working with Lori and Ruth for a decade and have seen countless PATHseekers do more than they once thought possible because of a PATH Plan. Parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, neighbors, teachers, co-workers, direct care professionals...the list goes on...have all commented on the effectiveness of the PATH planning process with Lori and Ruth.  One of the highest credentials Lori and Ruth bring is that they are both moms of kids with disabilities and they have a deep understanding of what it is like to navigate supports in systems as well as in the community. They know how to meet PATHseekers where they are and how to design an action plan that gets the PATHseeker moving.

“The PATH plan is gift that brings confidence, a sense of belonging, and empowerment that is everlasting."  

Katie Taliercio, Developmental Disability Resource Center

 

"Working with Ruth and Lori is so delightful and encouraging!

“They bring great wisdom from experience and teach in a way that reaches all listeners. They are open to questions and meet you where you are on this journey. I recommend them for individual sessions as well as group learning. Ruth and Lori are willing to adjust to your needs just as we hope others will adjust for the needs of individuals with varying abilities.”

“It is so important that people learn about Person-Centered Principles and Planning."

Janine Westlund,

Partners in Leadership Project Coordinator, Sewall Child Development Center

 
 
 

"PATHs to PossAbilities is amazing!

The passion that both Lori and Ruth express when they are presenting about person-centered planning and PATHs to our families and youth is contagious. Lives are changed because both the parent and their adolescent child see the awesome possibilities for their future after using person-centered practices and having a PATH done."

Yvette Plummer,

Executive Director of THRIVE Center

"Lori and Ruth are exceptional professionals,

harnessing passion and directing it into actions that produce results.”

“As a business owner, the strategic planning with Lori and Ruth, allowed us to set short, medium and long term goals.  Part of the process included identification of who to contact to grow our network and we found this to be an essential ingredient. I encourage other businesses to continue to meet with Lori or Ruth over time, for accountability and  to continue revisiting their business PATH.  This process is a great way to work smarter and more effectively. Looking back, it was one of the best things we ever did for our small consulting business."
