Reinventing Quality Conference
Monday, August 11, 2008- Tuesday, August 12, 2008Location: Baltimore, MD
This year's Reinventing Quality Conference on developmental disabilities services will be held in Baltimore, MD on August 10-12. It will feature numerous agencies that have implemented person-centered planning and individualized support structures to assist people in living the lives they desire. Featured are agencies that have converted from congregate to individualized services, those which have been specifically designed for individualized support, and those that have assisted individuals to experience true community membership. One highlight is individuals who have developed their own micro-enterprises. In addition, innovations in policies, systems issues, and quality assurance methodologies will be presented.
This conference is for people with developmental disabilities, family members, direct support professionals, administrators of community support agencies, advocates, state and federal officials. Themes and sessions are designed to support state and local efforts to develop a lasting structure to implement and sustain innovations in person-centered support
