Sinergia: We Are Here for You!
As parents of children with an intellectual / developmental disability, we could feel overwhelmed by the challenging process leading to accessing services. Furthermore, we might not know where to start. Family Support Programs have been created with the sole purpose of assisting the family during this journey. This presentation will provide an overview of the services of the Office of People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD), the eligibility process, and the supporting role of the case managers. Additionally, we will present other services Sinergia provides that do not requireOPWDD-eligibility, for example, special education advocacy, parent trainings & workshops, support groups, and recreational programs for children and young adults on the autism spectrum.
