Today marks the 20th anniversary of the incorporation of BCCIL. We should be celebrating. Instead we are asking everyone to reach out to their legislators to pass the state budget so that vital programs for people with disabilities can resume.

Need to know how to find your legislator? You can find them here.

The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) is inviting individuals with intellectual disabilities and/or autism and their families to join in a virtual exploration and discussion with members of the Division of Policy and Program Innovation. These sessions are informal, meaning the conversation will not be recorded, and rules will be set before the session starts to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe to provide questions and comments. The session will be held through Microsoft Teams. Please note: This event is being held only for individuals and family members; this is not an event for someone who is only a professional.

What Will Be Covered?

Family members often want to stay as involved as possible with the services their relative receives. This session will consist of an overview of services that family members can provide through ODP's 1915(c) waivers, as well as who is considered family and other important definitions. The session will also include time to explore where this information can be found.

Date: September 18, 2025, 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM
