Empowering Adults Through Supported Decision Making
Empowering Adults Through Supported Decision Making
The Role of Families, Guardians, Caregivers, and Others in Supporting Individuals Receiving HCBS
Webinar on Thursday, March 19 at 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm ET
This training is the next in a monthly webinar series hosted by ACL and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) and will specifically address delineating between the preferences of individuals receiving HCBS and those of families/guardians. Promising practices in building caregiver networks and coalitions across public-private partnerships will also be discussed. Webinar attendees will hear from the ABA Commission on Law and Aging discussing their report on supported-decision making for individuals across the age spectrum. The Arc will share experiences of that of a policy and advocacy organization, and a provider of services to people with disabilities when there are support-decision making considerations involved. In addition, The Center for Public Representation will focus on the HCBS settings rule in the supported-decision making context.
