The DD Waiver Therapy Standards Workshop

This workshop assists therapists in understanding the requirements of the Developmental Disabilities Supports Division for DD Waiver Therapy practice and documentation.  Therapists will learn about expectation for therapy provision and bring away many tools and sample formats for evaluation, practice, therapy intervention plans, therapy reports, therapy support plans, as well as many other tools.  Funding information as well as specific therapy resources are introduced.  A substantial part of this workshop is devoted to break-out sessions for discipline specific information that is geared toward the specific needs of therapist in the field of Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy or Speech-Language Pathologists.  This workshop is mandated by the State of New Mexico for therapists in their first year of service provision under the DD Waiver and is highly recommended for all therapists practicing under the DD Waiver.

Other workshops are presented depending on therapist input and request.  Other workshops might include information on the latest methods and technical assistance in Seating and Positioning the Individual with DD, Augmentative Communication Systems and Strategies, Reducing Preventable Aspiration in Persons with DD, Basic Switch Access, Environmental Evaluation and Environmental Access Strategies, Electronic Aides to Daily Living and Supporting Supported Employment.
