The Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Settings Rule can improve community-based services and supports for people with disabilities and older adults for decades to come. A key requirement of the Settings Rule is that states hear from people with disabilities and older adults about how the state can best implement the rule.
The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is hosting this webinar to provide participants with an opportunity to learn when and how to invite and/or provide feedback on state efforts to comply with the rule. Presenters will share key dates, strategies, and examples of how powerful the voices of people with lived experiences can be in creating more opportunities for choice and control in service delivery and advancing the quality of services.
Live captioning will be provided. A video replay and transcript will be made available following the event.
