Update on OASIS presentation-incl online viewing option

from DDRS:

This bulletin is an update up to the announcement the Division of Disability and Rehabilitative Services (DDRS) sent on the comprehensive statewide informational forum scheduled to occur Wednesday, December 17, 2008, from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time). The presentation is to educate consumers and all stakeholders on new processes and expectations that will apply under the Objective Assessment System for Individual Supports (OASIS) that is to roll-out beginning in January 2009.

The single presentation format will ensure that each individual involved has the most up-to-date information. We have made arrangements for a variety of viewing possibilities to accommodate as many people as possible:

* Primary host location is in the Indiana Government Center-South Auditorium
* Live streaming of host presentation on the World Wide Web:
http://mediaserver.ihets.org/ddrs
* Live streaming of host presentation to seven (7) satellite locations across Indiana. BDDS District Managers will moderate at each location (see below)
* Video tape of the presentation, to be edited for length, to be posted for online viewing as quickly as possible following the live presentation.
* An interpreter for the deaf and hard of hearing will be available at the primary host location and the interpretation will be viewable at the satellite locations. If you will require accommodations or have questions about accessibility, please call
(317) 234-5222 or 1-888-527-0008 as soon as possible prior to the event.
