For Idaho families who have adult children or whose youth are close to adulthood with developmental disabilities, this information is important regarding the KW vs. Armstrong lawsuit and the assessment tool. There are links to upcoming meetings - three choices of dates/times - for more information and to provide feedback:

Over the past month, the K.W. lawyers have been meeting with Idaho Medicaid to discuss what will happen. That means that now is a critical time for your feedback.

The K.W. lawyers will hold three online meetings to give detailed updates and get your feedback. These meetings are just for people who get Medicaid DD services in Idaho, and their primary advocate. The meetings will not be recorded. All three meetings will cover the same update – you only need to attend one of them:

Self-Guided Modules

Leveling Up: Transition to Adulthood

Life is full of transitions, and one of the more remarkable ones occurs when we get ready to leave high school and go out in the world as young adults. When the student has a disability, it’s especially helpful to plan ahead for that transition.

Many educators and providers recommend that planning for the transition to adult life begin as early as age 12 to 16 years. Whether your youth is in middle school or has already graduated high school, this training has information for all!

The modules will cover:

Education Transition

Healthcare Transition

Money Matters

Person-Centered Thinking

Registration Required!
