What are the long term services and supports for your child and how do you access them? Navigating the system is confusing and filled with confusing terms such as CFC, PAS/HAB and LIDDA.

Are there changes on the horizon that may impact the services your child receives? Attending this training will help you navigate the system and provide answers to your questions.
