Hello all:

Please see the attached flyer for information on our upcoming “Understanding Self Direction” webinar. It is taking place on Tuesday, June 13, at 7:00pm and is being presented by Amber Suttle, Director of Self-Directed Services at Wildwood Programs.

As an HCBS Waiver funded program through OPWDD, Self-Direction is a person-centered support that puts the individual and their family in control of service delivery.

Join us for this informative webinar to learn more.

My son Marco is 14yrs old and has Down’s syndrome & Autism. I feel very fortunate that he was born during a time and in a place where there are so many resources and knowledgeable people willing to share their experiences and education. The SI Developmental Disabilities Council’s various committees provide information and network opportunities to both parents and professionals at various stages.

When a child is diagnosed with a disability their family is thrust into a new world, with a new language and a maze of information. The SIDDC help parents and professionals bridge the gaps of information and resources for those in need. Over the course of my son’s life I’ve been active in a few of the SIDDC committees and as he gets older I’m sure I’ll be utilizing additional committees.

It’s comforting to know that there are resources and supports available to Staten Island’s disabled community only a phone call or website search away. And most importantly a group of people that meet regularly to brainstorm and continue the flow of information to those who want to better the lives of the entire SI community. I’m truly appreciative to have such a imperative resource available to my family.
