ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Original "Connections: a Guide to Transition Planning" was developed
and written by Rae Roebuck and Judy Coultes-Macleod of First Leadership
Limited. Initial funding for this project was provided to Toronto and York
Region by the Ministry of Community and Services through the Innovation
Fund 2005/06. The May 2007 reprint (Central West version) has been
supported by the Central West Regional Office of the Ministry of
Community and Social Services.

Funding for the reprint 2010 edition was made available through the Labour
Market Strategy Initiative, which came about as a result of the Ministry of
Community and Social Services receiving Federal funds to support person-
directed planning. Material was reviewed and updated by representatives
from Wellington/Dufferin, Waterloo Halton and Peel communities.
