Bring people together
Family members who can’t attend meetings or who live in different cities can stay connected to their loved one’s life. They can check in whenever they like to see latest events, and keep in touch with comments.

The person served is front and center
MyCompass is the only tool that ensures system needs are met while not losing the perspective of the person served. This is the heart of the real innovation of MyCompass. The goal is to ensure everyone sees the person and their unique abilities, not simply a file number. People served and their supports actively participate in co-designing the support they want and need to make life better.
Pictures make it more inclusive
Not everyone can read and write well, something that can exclude people supported from being part of person directed planning. MyCompass has a visual focus, and allows people served and supports to upload pictures to assist in communicating ideas and sharing moments.
Completing tasks and accomplishing goals
Timeline is also where the person served and their supports report when to do items and goals are accomplished. Pictures of highlights can be uploaded and comments can be created to track how the person felt about the event or accomplishment.
Share life moments as they happen
Great things don't just happen once a year at the time of reviewing a plan. MyCompass makes it easy to keep track of unexpected moments that show progress towards goals and quality of life outcomes. Securely upload pictures from a phone or desktop computer to immediately share important milestones and progress, as soon as those events occur
Help people set their own goals and accomplish them
Setting goals and follow through is easier to manage now that you can assign people and the tasks they need to do to help a person they support to accomplish their goals. I really like that it is a living way to stay on track, instead of relying on a paper copy of goals that we only used to look at once a year when it was time to update.

I love the intuitive nature of MyCompass
...making it far easier to work with than other data collection tools. Above all, it has meaning and purpose for the individual serving to highlight the person directed approach that our agency believes in.

I'm part of it!
MyCompass App is very cool where I can be a part of and be able to access and see what pictures caregivers put in my timeline and the comments they put after them describing what the photos are representing. And I can comment on them too. I also get to be a part of who I choose to help me with my goals so I can get them achieved.

Stay connected with my family in meaningful ways
I love how MyCompass allows me to keep track of my goals that I have planned to achieve. I also like how it allows families to be actively engaged with what is happening in their son or daughters lives.

Life isn't planned once a year
...and being involved on a continuous basis through MyCompass Planning presents opportunities for ongoing dialogue and conversations. Having families actively engaged in planning for their son or daughter is the best way to ensure support is the absolute best they can be.

MyCompass is a very efficient method of data collection
Our Association has been utilizing MyCompass for just over two years now. It has been a great tool and a very efficient method of data collection. It's very convenient to have information regarding the Individuals we support at our finger tips. We have just scratched the surface of the usefulness that MyCompass can provide and I look forward to Having our Individuals that we support, take on a more active role in their MyCompass page.
