The process of moving from pediatric to adult health care involves legal and social changes. For youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities, this process often is delayed or incomplete. From sharing information and power to building new skills, this webinar will help families navigate the process of health care transition in ways that empower youth to step forward and take a leadership role in their health and care.
A presentation and discussion for Autistic adults to come and explore their understanding of autism through a neurological lens. We will discuss common misconceptions, the Autistic identity, and common Autistic traits, strengths, and challenges. This presentation is given by an Autistic adult and a Neurodivergent ally. You might enjoy this presentation and discussion if you are newly diagnosed, considering whether you may be autistic, or if you have only explored autism through a deficit lens in the past.
Join us for camaraderie and fun! We will be playing a variety of Jackbox games that we will select as a group! Most games fit about 8 participants, but are still a blast to watch! We rotate through both games and players to have a great time together!
Discussion and practice of strategies to build a sleep routine to improve rest.
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.
Meet with other parents for resources and support! First and third Tuesday of every month.
