Across the country, community-based organizations are responding to the needs of older adults and adults with disabilities by expanding options for virtual programming and service delivery. Virtual offerings can promote service continuity in lieu of in-person interactions, as well as foster social connectedness.

Join ACL and other national stakeholders for a webinar highlighting programs, best practices, and tips for creating communities of learning and engagement via technology. Presenters will address marketing/outreach, barriers to virtual participation, strategies for holding interactive and inclusive conversations, and more.

This webinar will be recorded and posted on ACL’s COVID-19 web page.

Presenters: Ryan Elza, AARP Foundation; Stephen Ewell, Consumer Technology Association (CTA) Foundation; Thomas Kamber, Older Adults Technology Services (OATS); Susan Stiles, National Council on Aging

On Monday, June 15, a group of 30 bipartisan senators sent a letter to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), requesting that recent expansions and flexibilities made for telehealth due to the COVID-19 pandemic be made permanent.

RCPA is asking for members to contact Senator Casey and Senator Toomey and ask them to sign onto the bipartisan letter. It is important to continue the expansion of telehealth; this is your opportunity to have your voices heard. Questions, please contact Jack Phillips.

During the quarantine, Jimmy Kimmel Live is paying tribute to those who are on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis. We all know Direct Support Professionals have been doing amazing work to try to manage the pandemic with limited resources. If you know of a DSP who deserves to be celebrated, please consider having them recognized as a #HealthCareHero.

To nominate someone, share their story on social media with the hashtag #HealthCareHero — be sure to tag the stories with @JimmyKimmelLive so the show can see them — then be on the lookout for a message or reply from one of the show’s producers to see if you’ve been selected. We must get as much recognition as we can for the pandemic’s #ForgottenFaces, and celebrating members of this fantastic and essential workforce is a great step forward!
