EXHIBIT Information
State service systems for people with intellectual/developmental
disabilities (I/DD) and their families continue to adapt to rapid changes
in the state and federal environment. Our nation's economic uncertainty,
federal and state strategies to increase efficiency, health and federal
health care reform initiatives, and transformational technology to support
community living all present an intricate set of challenges and ideas.
Good futures for people with I/DD and their families require leadership
that keeps innovating, builds on current service delivery strengths, and
stays focused on outcomes.
The NASDDDS Mid-Year Conference & Directors Forum will provide information
and learning sessions about what service delivery trends indicate and
a 'technology showcase', highlighting technology opportunities for today
and the future. Further, the conference will offer examples of how states
have become nimble in moving forward in dynamic environments with service
systems that are cost efficient and person-centered.
