Session Description

The new Administration on Community Living provides new opportunities for collaborations between the aging and disability networks. This workshop will address key strategies for engaging UCEDDS in activities that support state and local level cross-network activities. Examples will include:

  1. working with the Aging and Disability Resource Centers,
  2. providing training and technical assistance on age-related issues of people with developmental disabilities,
  3. conducting evaluations that include both populations in such home and community based services such as managed care for "dual eligibles", and
  4. including persons with developmental disabilities in dementia care initiatives.
