Relationship Map
Getting to Know You
The Relationship Map helps us to see
who a person knows and how they know
them (family, friends, people at work
or school, etc.). It also details how the
relationships can help support a person
live the life they choose and details the
emotional connection that person has to
the people in the map. The Relationship
Map lets us know who we should include
in the planning process with a person.
The modied Relationship Map helps
the person know who to contact for
technological support.
