The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has shared the release of the Multi-Year Program Growth Dashboard on MyODP. This dashboard presents key metrics aligned with the Department of Human Services (DHS) Office of Developmental Programs Multi-Year Program Growth Strategy. This strategy is focused on expanding access to home and community-based services (HCBS), increasing system capacity, and making measurable progress toward eliminating the emergency waiting list for adults with intellectual disabilities and autism.

The dashboard will be updated on a quarterly basis and reflects changes in waitlist status, service access, and enrollment trends over time. It is designed to support ongoing monitoring of progress, inform strategic decision-making, and ensure accountability in advancing ODP’s long-term system transformation and service expansion goals.

Stakeholders are encouraged to review the dashboard regularly to stay informed on progress and key developments.

Topic — Best Practices in Behavioral Assessment and Treatment
Updates are in Red

Regardless of our role, we should all continuously strive to implement best practices when supporting someone who may have behaviors that are challenging or not yet understood. This training will focus on ways that, within your role, you can ensure that the behavioral support you are providing is sound, appropriate, and implemented with fidelity and integrity. ODP will offer two tracks held across different days and times that focus on the role you play in this process.

Please choose 1 date for the appropriate track that best represents your role. There is no cost to attend the training, but pre-registration is required.

Note: Both tracks will provide best practice information grounded in peer-reviewed and evidence-based research and will not address ODP program-specific service definitions, procedures, or guidelines.

Track 1 is for any Behavioral Specialist (and their supervisors) who completes behavioral assessments, develops behavioral plans, and trains others on the implementation of the plan.
