Understanding Your HCBS Rights - Webinar for Individuals, Families, & Support Persons

The Department of Developmental Services (DDS) is excited to announce an upcoming training opportunity, Understanding Your HCBS Rights, presented in partnership with Alo Consultation. This webinar, geared towards individuals who receive services and their families, will explain the HCBS (home and community-based services) Requirements that took effect in March 2023.

This webinar will:

• Teach about the principles behind the HCBS requirements (like accessing the community, choice in services and supports, the right to have visitors, and more...)
• Let the audience hear from individuals about their experiences with the HCBS principles.
• Demonstrate how to talk with service providers or staff about the HCBS principles.

The webinar will be offered on two different days/times. A recording of the webinar will also be posted on the DDS website.

Spanish and ASL interpretation will be provided at the time of the webinar, and additional language interpretations can be arranged upon request. The materials will also be translated and available to download.
