The Arkansas Governor's Developmental Disabilities Council hosts the Family Leadership Project. Typically this program is held in Little Rock. The Arkansas Governor's DDC contacted several agencies in NW Arkansas and stated they would like to have the Family Leadership Project in Northwest Arkansas if there are enough participants.

This is a FREE program for parents, guardians and individuals with developmental disabilities.

The Family Leadership Project's primary objectives are to:

  • Provide participants with increased knowledge of and information on how to better access services and supports needed by individuals with developmental disabilities.
  • Help parents, family members and guardians better understand their rights under IDEA, how to work with school officials to write a more effective IEP, gain a more complete understanding of the Medicaid and Medicaid waiver system, and how to identify and make use of the many resources available to them;
  • Assist participants in gaining a better understanding of how to make more effective use of the strategies that affect systems change, including legislation and governmental rules and regulations;
  • Help participants understand how to work more effectively with local and state service agencies, and
  • Assist participants in understanding their role in influencing systems change.

I encourage you to review the attached document Leadership Project.pdf and contact the DDC if you would be interested in having this event in NWA. You may mail, email or call the DDC. Call 800-462-0599 or go to www.ddcouncil.org
