Please note - the information presented during this webinar will be Montana-specific. Participants from other states are welcome to attend, but policies, procedures and programs in those states may differ from Montana's.
Do you know the difference between self-directed Developmental Disabilities (DD) services and traditional services? Who is eligible for self-directed services? If you are the parent of a child with a developmental disability, did you know you could become a DD provider? Join representatives from the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services Developmental Disabilities Program and three parents to learn more about how to maximize the choice and control people who qualify for Montana DDP support have over their services.
Presenters:
Diana Tavary from Helena, Montana, is the mother of McKenzie, a 21-year-old young woman with autism. Diana has been an advocate with PLUK (Parents, Let's Unite for Kids) for over seven years.(PLUK represents the 30,000 families of children with disabilities and special health care needs in Montana, as well as serves as Montana's Parent Training and Information Center, the Family to Family Health Information and Education Center, and the Family Voices state affiliate.) Diana's main duties at PLUK include advocating for students with IEPs and 504 plans, and helping families locate services in their communities. Diana and Mckenzie have used Self-Direct Developmental Disabilities services since July 2009, and are very satisfied with the self-direction option.
Joli Schroader is the Montana Developmental Disabilities Program (DDP) Waiver Specialist. Paula Tripp is the DDP Region V Manager.
Valerie and Steve Burningham started Zeda LLC in July 2009 to provide their adult son with disabilities the services he needed and wanted. As Valerie explains, outside provider agencies often don't know the person they are representing well enough to adequately describe necessary supports to employers. Parents, on the other hand, have years and years of experience with what works and doesn't work for their child.
