RI DDD Officials To Discuss Next Steps in Shift Toward "Person-Centered" System

The Rhode Island Division of Developmental Disabilities has reviewed comments from 16 public meetings held since May on its intention to move toward a “person-centered” system, built on the idea that the primary focus of the division’s services should be the needs and preferences of each adult it serves.

DDD officials will summarize the comments they received from the public and discuss the next steps Wednesday, Sept. 28 at Rhode Island College and Monday, Oct. 2 at the Community College of Rhode Island in Warwick. Here are the details:
