BDS Restrictions Training Materials Available

From DDRS Updates

"The Bureau of Disabilities Services is committed to supporting our provider network in working toward a true person-centered system which empowers individuals to live their best lives. BDS also expects providers to work towards a true person-centered system which empowers an individual to direct their services to the greatest extent possible.

As part of that commitment, BDS hosted three identical web-based trainings focused on Restrictions.

Participants learned about:

• What does the HCBS settings rule have to say about restrictions?
• Defining modifications and restrictions.
• The role of services, the need for assessment, and how free will and choice impact the rewards and restrictions that are put into place.
• Nothing about Me; Without Me: The importance of individuals leading the decision-making process for services, supports, and restrictions.
• The importance of Restrictions having time limits and the role data driven decision making has in the planning process.

A recording of the training is available here and the PowerPoint is available here
