Getting into the Mental Retardation System

This training describes how important it is to register with the Office of Developmental Programs. When you are registered, you are counted among the people with disabilities who need services. When the state knows how many people need services, it can plan better to provide the services everyone needs. You will also learn why and when to fill out a PUNS form, which helps plan how soon you need services. We explain the job of a Supports Coordinator so you will know how they can help you.


About Partnership Trainings

Each FREE training module is two hours in length. Resource materials are provided to each family free of charge, and all participants receive handouts and a certificate of completion for each presentation. We offer Act 48 credits and some reimbursement, such as mileage and child care to families upon request. All Partnership curricula are available in alternate formats upon request. Request for alternate formats should be made two weeks before the scheduled training.
