by Pam Merkle

OPWDD recently posted an online survey to solicit further public input to the design of the People First Waiver. You can access the survey at http://www.opwdd.ny.gov/2011_waiver/index.jsp. The survey will be online for the next three weeks after which the collected responses will be compiled and used to inform the design process.

In addition, OPWDD posted a message from Commissioner Courtney Burke explaining the purpose of the People First Waiver and the reforms it will achieve for New York’s developmental disabilities service system.
