Your Partner in Support, Education, and Collaboration for IDD Success!

Case Consultations

are designed for LIDDA and provider staff to seek information or advice about a case-specific presenting issue. This is to be used when seeking assistance with a specific case when there are concerns about the person’s health, safety, or an imminent risk of institutionalization. This is also an appropriate resource when preparing for a transition or diversion and when additional support is needed following a Peer Review. Staff will meet with the full TST, provider(s), case managers, and others involved with the person’s services and supports, potentially including their family member(s), caregiver(s), or LAR. In addition to this form, TST members will review the person’s file and any other requested documentation before the meeting. The TST provides a written document outlining recommendations and action items generated from this meeting.

are designed for LIDDA and provider staff to seek information or advice about a case-specific presenting issue. This may be the first step in seeking assistance with a specific case that should be followed by a Multidisciplinary Case Consultation. It may also be used for non-urgent situations where additional support and planning are needed or may only require a specific team member’s expertise. The TST member(s) receives general information about the individual but does not conduct an in-depth review of records. The TST provides a brief written plan of action for the requester.

Educational Opportunities

We provide regular educational opportunities for Local Intellectual and Developmental Disability Authorities (LIDDAs), service providers, and those who work or care for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Our goal is to enhance the skills and knowledge required to effectively support individuals with IDD. These sessions are offered in both in-person and virtual formats, with handouts and session recordings available for those unable to attend. Following each training, a provider satisfaction survey will be distributed to assess the effectiveness of the session and gather feedback for continuous improvement. If you have a specific topic you would like addressed, please submit a request. These training opportunities are open to the public. To receive updates on upcoming sessions and registration details, we invite you to join our mailing list.

Stakeholders Meeting

Our Stakeholder Meetings provide a valuable platform for gathering feedback on program training, discussing emerging opportunities and needs, and identifying key areas of concern. These meetings serve as an important forum for collaboration, where participants can share insights and contribute to the ongoing development of services.

The Stakeholder Committee includes a diverse group of individuals, such as those receiving services through LIDDAs, HCS, or TxHmL, representatives from each LIDDA, family members of individuals receiving services, community providers, and representatives from advocacy organizations.

Additionally, these meetings offer organizations that provide services to individuals with developmental disabilities the opportunity to present their resources and explain how to access their services.

If you would like to present on behalf of your organization at one of our quarterly meetings or if you are interested in joining the committee, please reach out to us for more information.
