CONFERENCE Theme

State agency leaders of I/DD systems are continually challenged with finding new ways to provide person-centered services. The challenge is likely to become more complex in the future as efforts mount to control the cost of federal Medicaid and Medicare programs. But what is that future likely to look like?

The NASDDDS Annual Conference and Directors Forum will host a range of national policy experts who, based on their knowledge and experience, can provide a view of what the future might look like. Coupled with panels of state I/DD agency directors currently involved in complex reform efforts, attendees will gain critical information to get ready, adjust, and influence the impacts of reform, keeping the lens focused on people with disabilities and their families.
