The National Center on Advancing Person-Centered Practices and Systems (NCAPPS) is hosting an upcoming webinar to share lessons learned from their Self-Direction Learning Collaborative. In 2022, NCAPPS determined that there was a need for a national effort to expand the quality and availability of self-direction as a person-centered option available to a wide variety of potential participants. To achieve this goal, NCAPPS created the Self-Direction Learning Collaborative, which brought together teams and experts from across the country to learn from each other as they worked to improve self-direction in their states during a period of 18 months. This upcoming webinar will highlight the successes of two Learning Collaborative teams: Colorado and Ohio. It will also introduce a new publicly available NCAPPS resource, A Guide for Developing Strategic Objectives to Expand Self-Direction, which offers a road map for public managers and advocacy organizations looking to make self-direction more available and accessible in their own states.
