POWER TALK WITH ODP

Fri. Dec. 8th, 10 am – 12 pm

Do you have questions about or issues with the supports and services for people with intellectual disabilities and or autism (ID/A) in PA? Join SAU1 for a monthly chat with staff from the PA Office of Development Programs (ODP), the government office that oversees and funds those supports and services. People with ID/A in PA can speak up with ODP staff, and others are welcome to listen and learn. SAU1 starts the calls by reviewing the questions they’ve already gathered and sent to ODP, then talks about them with ODP staff. After the ODP staff leave, you are invited to stay on for a bit while we discuss what was heard, and gather questions to send to ODP for next month. Please send questions to anita@sau1.org by Nov. 30.
