Georgetown University National Center for Cultural Competence (NCCC) is conducting a second set of virtual forums for providers of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) supports and services in New York State.
These forums are designed to assess the self-described capacity of voluntary providers: 1) to support all persons with IDD and their families across racial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, and other identity groups; and 2) provide such services in the diverse communities and geographic areas of the State.
These forums are fully endorsed by OPWDD. All data from the forums will be analyzed and shared publicly in a report with short- and long-term recommendations to advance cultural and linguistic competence and systems change.
Your thoughts and experiences matter!
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or their designee who:
has authority to respond on behalf of the organization; and is knowledgeable of the organization’s policies and practices focused on cultural competence, linguistic competence, and equity for all people with IDD and their families receiving supports and services provided by the organization.
The forums will be conducted virtually using Zoom, a web-conferencing platform, and ThoughtExchange, a survey platform that allows large numbers of participants to provide real-time interactive input.
The Provider Forums will be conducted in English and American Sign Language (ASL).
The NCCC complies with federal and state statutes and guidelines to ensure access for persons with disabilities. Please notify project staff if you require other accommodations other than ASL to participate in the Provider Forum.
To ensure efficient data processing, same-day registrations are not accepted for the forums.
