DBHDD, in partnership with Sangha Unity Network (SUN), will continue the work of Transformational Change through a series of interactive, one-day workshops focused on creating more meaningful Individual Service Plans using the new ISP template.
These workshops are designed to support a shift in thinking about the ISP, from a required document to a person-centered tool that reflects the aspirations, strengths, preferences, and choices of each person receiving services. Participants will learn how to facilitate and develop ISPs that are grounded in person-centered engagement and aligned with the intent of the HCBS Settings Rule and NOW/COMP waivers.
This event is hosted by Georgia Department of Behavoral Health and Developmental Disabilites and it will be located at both of the Clarence Brown Conference Center & the UGA Tifton Conference Center.

This workshop provides families with an introduction to their rights and responsibilities as parents of children with special needs.
This workshop provides families with an introduction to their rights and responsibilities as parents of children with special needs under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the NJ Code, and Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. Parents learn to identify their dreams and goals for their children, and learn laws and advocacy strategies that will help them help their children reach those goals. Parents of classified children and children who are having difficulty in school, but may not be classified, benefit from this training.
Join us for a meaningful conversation with parents with intellectual and developmental disabilities as they share how informal supports have helped strengthen their families. Learn about the friends, family members, neighbors, and community connections that have made a difference in their parenting journey, how they built those relationships, and what advice they have for others looking to grow their support network.
