Janet Klees - Janet has over 25 years experience working with people with disabilities and their families.

She has been coordinator with the family-governed Deohaeko Support Network for the past 15 years and has been deeply affected by the lives of the people that she has come to know. Janet is the author of two books "We Come Bearing Gifts" and "our Presence has Roots." 

All of Janet's work focuses on individually-designed arrangements and she is especially concerned that families are well supported to think through practical, principled ways to ensure that their family members live meaningful, involved and secure lives within their communities.
