“Disability Crossroads” combines practical strategies with deep insights gained from Ron’s diverse career as a senior service manager, public guardian, researcher, and investigator. The book introduces three transformative frameworks: a collaborative model for family-provider partnerships, systematic approaches to protecting vulnerable individuals, and proven methods for dispute resolution.

What sets this work apart is its foundation in real experiences. Every strategy and recommendation emerges from extensive consultation with people with disabilities, their families, and service providers. The book offers concrete solutions that have been tested and refined through Ron’s pioneering work in Alternative Dispute Resolution.

“The disability sector stands at a critical juncture,” says Ron. “While recent reforms have delivered significant benefits, we must address current challenges through engagement-based cooperative effort. This book provides practical tools for creating positive change.”

Ron’s expertise stems from a distinguished career spanning child protection, policy development, and executive leadership in human services. As Regional Director of the Department of Human Services, he oversaw operations across disability services, mental health, public housing, and indigenous services, giving him unique insight into system-wide challenges and opportunities.

“Disability Crossroads” serves as an essential reference for:

  • Disability service providers seeking to enhance their operations
  • Policy makers working to strengthen support systems
  • Advocates focused on protecting vulnerable individuals
  • Families navigating disability services
  • Organizations looking to implement effective dispute resolution practices

The book’s frameworks and strategies have applications beyond the disability sector and offer valuable insights for human services reform globally.

Ron brings over 30 years of experience in human services, with particular expertise in Alternative Dispute Resolution and service improvement. His innovative approaches to complex problem-solving have revolutionized practices across the disability sector, leading to measurable improvements in service delivery and outcomes for people with disabilities.

“Disability Crossroads” is available at https://rontiffen.com/ and most online retailers.
