We would like to hear about the challenges this group faces and also hear input to how the proposed Lifespan waiver could offer resources to improve this experience.? This Zoom session will also allow youth and their families to learn more about the proposed waiver concept.

State-Wide Tour

OADS also is offering a series of in-person events across the state with Providers, Waiver Members, and their Family Members. Providers will be asked to attend the provider-specific sessions to promote active interaction.?The meeting spaces have a person limit, and we want to house the meeting adequately, so we need to know how many people to expect. Meeting locations may change depending on the size of the response to the sessions. If that happens, we will notify registrants.
