We provide training for professionals and paraprofessionals whose primary focus is developmental disabilities (and dual diagnosis of a developmental disability and a mental health issue).

What we offer

Person Centered Thinking (details...) This training introduces the concepts of 'person centeredness' by focusing on the balance between what is important to and what is important for the person.

CAP-MR/DD Medicaid Waiver Service (details...) This training event provides a basic overview of CAP-MR/DD services pursuant to approved updates, effective September 1, 2005.

Targeted Case Management (details...) This training event provides an overview of the Medicaid Service Definition, Targeted Case Management (TCM).

Crisis Planning and Managment (details...) This training event is designed for all who are involved with planning for persons with developmental disabilities.

ELP Facilitator (details...) This training prepares the learner to develop an Essential Lifestyle Plan (a recognized best practice in person centered planning).

Personal Outcome Measures and Supports (details...) This training introduces the learner to Personal Outcome Measures as the basis for quality enhancement in human services.

Circle of Friends (details...) "A Circle of Friends is something that many of us take for granted unless we do not have one. A Circle provides us with a network of support of family and friends. A Circle of Friends is available when one needs someone to listen, to give loving advice, and to provide support when it is needed." (Perske, 1989)
