New training opportunity – Enhancing person centered outcomes through the LifeCourse Framework

The Bureau of Developmental Disabilities Services is pleased to offer a three part webinar training series providing information and techniques to aide in the development of meaningful outcomes through the person centered individualized support plan by utilizing LifeCourse principles and tools. We will explore and demonstrate how practicing the thinking and using the tools will result in a plan that is meaningful, appropriate, and supports the individual in living their best life.

This training is open to individuals, families, case managers and waiver service providers. All attendees can expect to learn more about their valued role as a member of the individualized support team and how they influence the development and success of a plan that is strength based, person centered and utilizes integrated supports.

Participation in all three sessions is not required but recommended. Participants will receive a certificate of attendance for each session they attend. Participants who attend all three sessions and complete a sample portfolio will receive a "PCISP Basics Proficiency Certification". Additional details about this option will be shared as part of the training series.
