What We're Currently Celebrating:
- We are excited about the new additions to our Community Partner group and are actively seeking more Self-Advocate and Family voices!
- Self-Advocate and Family Workgroups for draft ISP handbooks and forms were held by Beth Kessler and The Arc Oregon. Folks were able to share their important opinions, ideas, and visions for the future. These contributions were included in the first drafts of ISP handbooks and forms.
- Kelli Downey and Beth Kessler began working with The Arc Oregon to draft ISP handbooks based upon feedback from Self-Advocate and Family workgroups.
- Community Outreach Update!
- Eddie Plourde and Nicholas Kaasa presented at the DD Coalition and SPARC Self-Advocacy Group about the ISP Redesign Project and Self-Advocate opportunities.
- Arturo Zamudio connected with multiple community groups, including:
- Families that have children that receive I/DD Services, discussing about how they can be involved in the project.
- Self-Advocates from diverse communities that have an interest in adding their voice to the ISP Redesign Project.
