DSP Transformational Change: Strengthening Person Centered Service Delivery within the HCBS Settings Rule (Feb 2026)
The Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) Division of Intellectual/ Developmental Disabilities is pleased to announce the DSP Transformational Change: Strengthening Person Centered Service Delivery within the HCBS Settings Rule. Each training session will be conducted in-person.
Please note there are 3 sessions to choose from: February 2, 9, and 26.
This series of one-day interactive workshops are intended for Direct Support Professionals so that they have a better understanding of the intent and expectations of the Medicaid HCBS Settings Rule. The Transformation Change workshop will be offered 8 times across the state as an opportunity to learn and gain ideas to shift HCBS from a systems-framework to a more individualized framework where the person who uses services is at the center of his/her life, determining preferences, having autonomy, and making choices that work for them. A deeper understanding of the purpose of the Rule and how to implement will create the “shift” to more person-centered practices in our daily work. Furthermore, through our better understanding of the foundation of person-centered practices in service provision, the people we work for will begin to realize their individual role and live out their dreams versus the usual, traditional manner in which services have been considered, discussed, and provided.
