Upcoming Webinar: Exploring Core Competencies for Information and Assistance
(I&A) Professionals in Self-Direction
October 4, 2022, from 3:00-4:30 pm Eastern
|
|
|
|
Information and Assistance (I&A) is essential for helping participants understand self-direction,
navigate their program and its rules, and have a successful experience self-directing. An underpowered I&A function can limit not only a program’s growth and participant satisfaction but also its integrity, as one of the core functions of I&A is to provide
additional program monitoring and safeguards.
Co-sponsored by NCAPPS and
Applied Self-Direction (ASD), this webinar will highlight a new resource on core standards for I&A professionals in self-direction. The panel will feature people with lived experience of self-directing who will share their
experiences with quality I&A professionals and how they have affected their self-direction journeys.

Upcoming Webinar: Opening the Door - Importance of Great Person-Centered Conversations
on Employment
October 19, 2022, from 3:00-4:30 pm Eastern
|
|
|
|
Facilitating guided, person-centered conversations around employment can help people who use Long-Term
Services and Supports (LTSS) make their own informed decisions about work. Such conversations help people and their circles of support discover employment possibilities and understand the options that exist.
In recognition of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), this webinar co-hosted by NCAPPS and the
State Employment Leadership Network (SELN) will highlight successful person-centered approaches and tools for discussing employment.
