Family Support Planning Council
members
Family members of people
with developmental disabilities or individuals with developmental
disabilities are invited to serve on a Regional Family Support Planning
Council (RFSPC). The nine regional councils assist and advise the
Division of Developmental Disabilities on how resources can best meet
the needs of families and individuals in their region. Council members
are reimbursed for reasonable and customary expenses for travel,
childcare, respite and communication. This is an opportunity to
learn about the system and help mold the manner in which services and
supports will be provided to families in the future. |
