The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has announced the release of new and updated resources available through MyODP to support Life Sharing services. These materials have been developed to enhance the quality, consistency, and effectiveness of Life Sharing services provided to individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism across Pennsylvania.
In alignment with the mission of ODP, resources are intended to inform providers, along with individuals and families, about Life Sharing and support person-centered approaches across all Life Sharing settings.
Key Updates Include:
- Resource materials for providers, families, and Support Coordinators;
- Guidance reflecting current service definitions and rates;
- Tools to support effective person-centered service planning; and
- Recorded webinars about Life Sharing services.
ODP remains committed to ensuring that individuals receiving services experience safe, supportive, and meaningful living environments. These resources are an important step in advancing that commitment and fostering continuous improvement across the system.
We encourage all providers, families, and partners to review and utilize these materials as part of their ongoing efforts to deliver high-quality Life Sharing services.
