Be Informed and Be Involved

The Division of Services for People with Disabilities (DSPD) is committed to making sure that individuals with disabilities lead the lives they choose. As we make our system as person-centered as possible, we want to keep you up to date on changes happening at the Division and involved in the work we are doing.

Ways you can be informed and involved with DSPD:

Family and Self Advocate Information Gatherings
Workgroups, Committees, and Councils
Feedback Corner

Be Informed

DSPD hosts quarterly Family and Self-Advocate Information Gatherings to explain changes that are happening with DSPD and what that means for individuals in our services, *self-advocates, and families. This is also a place where you can provide input on the changes talked about, or any concerns you may have. You can find information about the next gathering, along with resources and presentations from previous meetings below.

*A self-advocate is an individual with a disability who wants to talk about their experiences and help make DSPD services even better, whether or not they are currently receiving services.
