The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has announced the launch of the Multi-Year Program Growth Strategy (MYPGS) training for SCs on MyODP. This three-part training series is designed to prepare SCs for successful implementation of the Multi-Year Program Growth Strategy (MYPGS).

The series covers:

  • An overview of MYPGS and its system-wide goals, including efforts to expand waiver capacity and reduce the Emergency Waiting List;
  • Recent updates to the PUNS Manual and guidance for accurate documentation of need; and
  • The critical role of SCs in aligning services with assessed needs, ensuring PUNS accurately reflects those needs and clearly communicates any changes to service plans.

Through practical examples, clear guidance, and collaborative strategies, this series empowers SCs to lead with confidence and provide timely, person-centered support to individuals with intellectual disabilities/autism (ID/A).
