Webinar 1/22:
Partnering with Families to Provide Programs for People with Intellectual
and Developmental Disabilities
Tennessee’s Employment and Community First CHOICES program,
serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, was
implemented in 2016 following robust engagement of the people and families
who would be served by the program and extensive collaboration across state
agencies and the advocacy community. The program emphasizes employment and
community inclusion as the first and preferred option for people with
intellectual and development disabilities and provides a broad array of
services responding to the diverse needs shared by people and families.
The National Center on Advancing Person-Centered Practices and
Systems (NCAPPS) presents a webinar: "Meaningful Stakeholder
Engagement: A Collaborative Approach to Programs for People with Intellectual
and Developmental Disabilities and Their Families" on January 22.
Participants in this webinar will learn:
- The critical role that
people and families played in proactively initiating conversations
with state agencies;
- The partnership between
state agencies to develop a comprehensive approach to service
delivery; and
- The importance of
stakeholder engagement early in the program design phase, throughout
implementation, and ongoing as the program continues to evolve to
ensure services address stakeholder needs.
