Re-opening Information for Employment and Day Service Providers
In anticipation of moving forward and in response to member requests, NASDDDS has taken several steps to provide real-time assistance to state I/DD leadership as you design and implement plans to re-open day services and other programs closed due to the pandemic response.
These steps include:
- NASDDDS has convened small workgroups focusing on various aspects of re-opening and will keep membership apprised of this progress
- NASDDDS established a webpage of resources in conjunction with SELN featuring re-opening information updated and reviewed weekly.
- NASDDDS continues to offer personal assistance to our membership as needed and upon request.
