Amanda Shelly

Hello!

My name is Amanda and this is my passion!

I have earned my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Aspen University and have spent the last 5 years working in social work for the county supporting individuals with disabilities and their families. Through my work at the county level, I have gained hands on experience with a wide range of disability services including direct involvement in Consumer Directed Community Supports (CDCS) cases. This experience allows me to help people understand their options and create realistic plans that are person-centered and align with their goals. My work is also deeply personal as my daughter has disabilities of her own, giving me even more firsthand experience and a great understanding of the challenges, advocacy and care coordination families face. My approach to support planning is one rooted in empathy, respect, professionalism and partnership.

    Chasing Dreams Support Planning has been sooo… helpful! They offer quick responses, and want to get the plan right. I have worked with previous CDCS Support Planning, but Chasing Dreams has been the best!

    If you’re even slightly overwhelmed with the process of getting your child the support they need, I strongly recommend reaching out to the team at Chasing Dreams! They’ve been so helpful with both of my kiddos’ grant/waivers, and it takes a LOT of the pressure off an already overwhelming and exhausting process.

    I was nervous and unsure about changing my son's cares from DCD to CDCS based services, but my social worker thought it would be beneficial. Thank goodness I found Chasing Dreams!! They were so kind, reassuring, and knowledgeable. They took care of everything!
