Are you a vendor or direct support professional? Take advantage of this free online two-part training series which includes four hours of instruction, discussion, and practice. It is an opportunity to reflect on disability history and the way we think and interact has an impact on the experience of people with disabilities today. It explores ways to shift our thinking as professionals and offers concrete steps to implement person centered thinking into daily practice. Registration in advance is required to carin@aliftllc.com.
The Self-Determination Program in California is exciting because it provides individuals and families receiving Regional Center services the opportunity to spend their budget in alternate ways, including on services not available through the traditional service delivery system, with providers who may not be “vendored,” or have a contract with the Regional Center, and in the amounts they choose.
If you are interested in learning more about Self-Determination, or have any questions or concerns, we invite you to be part of our community! You can:
1) Request your Service Coordinator refer you for free Self-Determination coaching services available through Education Spectrum, courtesy of funding through NBRC’s Local Advisory Committee (SDAC). You can also self-refer here.
2) Contact NBRC’s bilingual Self-Determination team at sdp@nbrc.net or 707-200-8123
3) Attend an online orientation, which is required before transitioning to the program. These orientations are available at https://scdd.ca.gov/sdp-orientation/ in multiple languages.
4) Attend an upcoming family training session via Zoom (please see flyer)
5) Attend the bi-monthly Local Volunteer Advisory Committee meetings (please see flyer)
6) Visit https://www.facebook.com/groups/CA.SDP.Forum to join a Statewide Self-Determination Program Forum hosted by the State Council on Developmental Disabilities (SCDD).
