Home and Community Based Services Settings Rule

Alternative Services and Beyond

Post

You are invited to attend the next FREE live webinar by the Disability Thrive Initiative on Wednesday, October 13 at 3:00 p.m. to learn more about the Home and Community Based Settings Rule (HCBS).

Services are always evolving to better meet the needs of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Long before the pandemic, the federal government established the Home and Community Based Services Settings Rule (HCBS) aiming to make all disability services more person-centered. Like alternative services, HCBS emphasizes individualization, flexibility, and choice. California is still working on applying HCBS to regional centers and service providers, and alternative services provide a glimpse into new opportunities.

Learn more about HCBS and what it means for the disability community, including:

  • How to build on alternative services to achieve the goals of HCBS
  • Ways that services are adapting and changing for HCBS
  • Resources about HCBS for individuals served and service providers

This free webinar has Spanish and ASL interpretation available. Register early to hold your place for this important discussion.
