* Power Talk with ODP! *

 

Tuesday, August 24th, 10:30 - 11:30 am

 

 

This is an ONLINE event on ZOOM.

 

 

Power Talk with ODP is monthly chat with staff from the PA Office of Development Programs (ODP), the government office that oversees and funds those supports and services.

 

People with ID/A can speak up with ODP while staff and others are welcome to listen and learn.

 

Our call starts with reviewing the questions we sent to ODP for this call.

 

What questions or concerns do you have about supports and services for people with intellectual disabilities and or autism (ID/A) in PA?

 

Please email them to christine@sau1.org by August 17th.

 

After the ODP staff leave, stay to talk about what we heard, and offer questions to send to ODP for next month.
