California law and regulation requires that regional centers display on their Web sites information about the dollar value of services they purchase for clients. These data (called "purchase of service" or "POS" data) must be reported separately by clients' ethnic/racial group, langauge and diagnosis.
Yes! There is Life After High School for Young Adults with Developmental Disabilities
In this informative and motivational session, Dr. Tom Pomeranz will detail the values and strategies of Universal Enhancement in promoting a quality life for students with disabilities after high school. Students, graduates, their parents, service coordinators, provider agencies and other staff, will be provided with a vision for employment options.
Thinking outside the box – that is looking at what is desired by the individual instead of what is merely available will be the mantra. Pomeranz will emphasize the importance of developing “places of employment” for people versus putting people into pre-existing places, such as Adult Day Services that do not emphasize
productive work.
Pomeranz drives home the point that “work” or, expenditure of meaningful effort is the great equalizer. Work promotes the opportunity for disenfranchised people to gain dignity and respect and become valued members of their communities.
