CREATING A SAFE EATING ENVIRONMENT FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES WITH DYSPHAGIA

Dysphagia is a term that means difficulty swallowing. Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities present a higher risk for Dysphagia which can lead to both choking and aspiration. This workshop is meant to
educate families and caregivers of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities about the risks involved, detection, prevention and intervention. The identification, evaluation and treatment of Dysphagia
is a team effort. With the right education, we can achieve a safe eating environment and our loved ones with developmental disabilities can receive the proper nutrition and the quality of life they deserve.

Everything is Changing in the Field of Developmental Disabilities!

From:     Gary Lind, Executive Director, AHRC New York City

As Executive Director of AHRC New York City an important part of my job is to assist families and provide them with information.  This is a particularly critical role given these difficult economic times.  Funding in the field of developmental disabilities is changing, more importantly, the services that your loved ones receive are at risk.

Parent to Parent NY, Inc. is hosting the following meeting on Tuesday, June 4, 2013.   I will be discussing the following:

• The Future of Managed Care: What is Managed Care and how will it affect the services your loved one receives?
• What is the People First Waiver?
• How do we, as service providers meet the challenges ahead in order to maintain the highest quality of services?
