Wise Webinar a Day Series:

Service Planning 2.0: Quality indicators, tools and perspectives with Brandi Monts and Megan Burr

Please join us on Friday, May 15th for our webinar, “Service Planning 2.0: Quality indicators, tools and perspectives" with Brandi Monts and Megan Burr. 

Join Brandi Monts, Wise Training and TA Director, and Megan Burr, Washington State Developmental Disabilities Administration Employment and Day Program Unit Coordinator, for a presentation focused on Employment and Community Inclusion Service Plans in the Washington State Developmental Disabilities Administration program. The presenters will share background information about the Plans as well as a quality indicator tool that was designed to assist in the interagency review process. With a focus on how to ensure your service plans answer key questions, include essential information and correlate with overall service goals, participants will leave with a quality review tool to take back to your agency and use within your team. This event will build on the Webinar A Day event held on 5/8, with Josie Sparks, “Uncovering Hidden Talents and Turning to Opportunity,” however participation in the previous training is not required.  Please come prepared with samples of your service plans, questions and ideas from the field!

Learning Objectives (Info, tools, and skills attendees will receive):

  • General understanding of service planning
  • Access to tools and resources already available
  • Ideas to implement the Quality Review Tool within your own work and teams
  • Perspectives on how to increase the quality of the service plans you are developing and/or implementing
