The Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) is committed to providing FREE training that improves the lives of participants of Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waivers. Please use as many training resources as you see fit.
Training for People with Disabilities
This e-learning course is designed for people with disabilities, and their families. Course modules are designed for four separate audiences to assist them to meaningfully participate in service planning. The modules are self-paced and may be used individually or shown in group settings, such as classrooms, advocacy groups, or trainings.
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the Nebraska Council on Developmental Disabilities are focused on a Person-Centered Planning (PCP) initiative to reinvigorate person-centered supports for all Nebraska's HCBS Waivers.
