Letter from Jane Gallivan, President, NASDDDS

As NASDDDS celebrates 50 years of service, we have to marvel at the foresight of the eight public servants who had the vision to see the need for this national association. Charles E. Acuff from Kentucky; Van R. Hinkle from Washington; Maurice G. Kott from New Jersey; Bert Schmickel from Connecticut; Vernon Stehman from Michigan; J. Wylie McGough from Ohio and Louis Belinson of Missouri met in Columbus, Ohio on February 28, 1963 to form an organization representing state officials having administrative responsibility for “the complex problems of mental retardation.” The record shows that the Coordinators of State Programs in Mental Retardation saw a need for an organization that would be a “…a medium for the exchange of information on projects, programs, and experiences and achieve the maximum effectiveness of the budget dollars appropriated for mental retardation services” and “a vehicle for effective communication between the Federal agencies and the various states concerned with research, training, programs and finance.”

Our predecessors recognized that change was coming. They knew that with the increased focus on what was then called mental retardation and the public support growing as a result of President Kennedy’s establishment of the President’s Committee on Mental Retardation, states would have increased responsibilities. They didn’t wait to see what would happen, they made the future happen. They established an organization that would enable an exchange among states, guide their thinking and practice and be a vehicle for communication with federal agencies. The foundation they created and their expectations of the organization they started are completely contemporary.

The challenge is ours. As leaders today, we have the same opportunity to create the future. Through our national organization we can continue to shape the future; to create systems of support in our states that enable people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to reach their full potential and fully participate in their communities, and that support the families they live with and who support them. Full inclusion in the life of the community, employment in a competitive wage job, relationships with family and friends, opportunities to contribute to the community, and high quality services – these are the standards of excellence that we must strive to achieve.

The year 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the Association. Such a significant milestone compels us to look back and also to look ahead.

The story of NASDDDS is the story of state agency leaders coming together, embracing the message of self-advocates and families, committing to a common cause, and creating systems of service that support people with developmental disabilities and their families. The association was launched in 1964 during a period of massive social change. The free speech movement, the Civil Rights movement, and the women’s movement are the back drop for the efforts of people with developmental disabilities and their families to secure their rights as citizens. The first sign of change was at the state level with state legislatures appropriating funds and passing laws creating services in the community. Passage of the federal Developmental Disabilities Act and President Kennedy’s appointment of national leaders to the President’s Committee on Mental Retardation brought the needs and rights of people with disabilities into the light nationally.

As Congress appropriated funds for services such as vocational rehabilitation, education, and the construction of community mental health centers, the executive branch established federal agencies to guide the administration of those funds at the state level. The Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA), the Administration on Aging (AOA), the Office of Special Education Programs and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) established a direct relationship with state agencies operating services. However, the DD Act, which created the Administration on Developmental Disabilities, confined the scope of the federal agency to state entities authorized in the statute: the Developmental Disability Councils, the Protection and Advocacy Agencies and the University Centers for Excellence (UCEDs). No federal agency has been assigned the responsibility to support or guide state agencies providing services for people with developmental disabilities in states.

NASDDDS has provided that national leadership for state DD agencies. Under the direction of a board of directors of state leaders, NASDDDS has guided the transformation of a national system that was almost exclusively institutional in 1964 to one in which today over 80% of people receiving services are living in the community. The story of the Association has been chronicled by Bob Gettings in a publication released with this Annual Report. It is a story of leadership and change and in looking at our past, we see what can be accomplished and are excited about the future.

influencing federal Policy

Federal Regulations: HCBS RuleNASDDDS has provided leadership on the implementation the response to the HCBS rule, representing state DD agencies’ perspectives on implementation opportunities and challenges. NASDDDS spearheaded communications with Cindy Mann, Director of the Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services (CMCS), regarding implementation issues. The association meets on a bi-weekly basis with CMS officials to develop transition plan guidance, communicate challenges in the states, and collaborate on solutions.

NASDDDS is the states’ voice in the nation’s capital, ensuring that the perspective and collective knowledge of the members inform national policy. NASDDDS works closely with executive branch agencies; educates federal lawmakers; and provides member states with timely analysis of federal statutes, regulations and policies.

6 www.nasddds.org

Federal Regulations: Companionship Exemption RuleNASDDDS worked closely with the Department of Labor (DOL) to inform the DOL guidance on implementation of the third-party employment provision under the Companionship Exemption rule. NASDDDS was instrumental in the development of the DOL Guidance on Shared Living which clarifies the conditions under which an exemption from wage and hour requirements can be applied and preserves the service model for thousands of individuals. The association continues to work with DOL to ensure outreach to states and other stakeholders.

NASDDDS achieves CMS Modifications to 1915(c) Waiver Quality Assurance ExpectationsAs the capstone to 18 months of work, CMS implemented a set of NASDDDS-led recommendations by making modifications to the section 1915(c) waiver quality assurance expectations that strengthen the oversight of the health and welfare of people receiving services and streamline state reporting requirements.

EmploymentNASDDDS staff were engaged by staff of the Energy and Commerce Committee to discuss possible reauthorization strategies for the

Workforce Investment Act, later reauthorized through the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.

Coalition LeadershipDan Berland, Director of Federal Policy, serves as the Co-chair of the Long Term Supports and Services Task Force of the Coalition of Citizens with Disabilities, the nation’s largest coalition advocating for the rights of and services for people with all disabilities.

Meeting with the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission Chas Moseley was requested to present to the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission (MACPAC), a non-partisan federal agency charged with providing policy and data analysis to the Congress and the Secretary of Health & Human Services (HHS) on the role of assessment in long-term supports and services.

Dr. Moseley’s presentation described the wide spectrum of uses that assessments serve and the importance of matching the right type of assessment to the purpose. He also emphasized that no assessment can determine the types of services that should be in an individual plan. Person-centered planning and factoring the context of the family are important elements of delivering long-term services and supports.

Data-based Decision MakingNASDDDS promotes the use of data in policy making and program performance measurement.

National Core IndicatorsThe National Core Indicators (NCI) system has documented the quality of state developmental disabilities agencies’ systems for 16 years. The NASDDDS-HSRI partnership, in collaboration with participating state agencies, gathers in-depth information on key system performance indicators and individual outcomes essential to effective policy planning, program operations, and systems development.

The NCI Program continues to expand to additional states with funding through a contract with the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. Six new states joined the program in 2013-2014, bringing the total to 40. NCI is also expanding to the aging and disabilities populations

through the support of NASUAD. Three states piloted the NCI-Aging and Disabilities (NCI-AD).

The project provides technical assistance and funding to enable new states to join the program each year. All participating states receive an annual report of state performance, as well as national summary reports, consumer-friendly reports and targeted data briefs on areas of importance.

Interested parties can download copies of the NCI annual reports. Consumer, family and provider reports can also be accessed from the website at www.nationalcoreindicators.com. Individuals can also make their own charts and summaries at the on-line Chart Generator at www.nationalcoreindicators.org/charts.

Supporting Individuals and Families Systems Project (FISP)

fisp.umn.eduNASDDDS staff continued collaboration with staff from the University of Minnesota Research and Training Center on Community Living, Institute on Community Integration and the Human Services Research Institute on the Family Information Systems Project. In this multi-year initiative, the NASDDDS Research Committee functioned as the project’s Technical Users Group. The Research Committee provided detailed advice and feedback on the nature and extent of data gathered by the university from state DD agencies on the services and supports furnished to individuals with disabilities living in the family home and the families who support them. NASDDDS staff contributed to the project throughout the year, sharing important learning from other projects, including the Supporting Families Communities of Practice.

Evidence-Based Policy

The collaboration with the Association of University Centers on Disability is designed to result not only in the preparation of a series of comprehensive, objective literature summaries on key policy topics, but also in the expansion of the use of outcome based research and evaluation within state policy.

National Residential Information Systems Project (RISP)

risp.umn.eduNASDDDS staff continued close collaboration with the University of Minnesota Research and Training Center on Community Living, Institute on Community Integration on the National Residential Information Systems Project (RISP), funded under a grant from the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. NASDDDS’ Research Committee provides ongoing recommendations to ensure the report meets the needs of state DD directors and their staff, Developmental Disabilities Councils, State Protection and Advocacy Agencies and University Centers on Developmental Disabilities. Importantly, NASDDDS actively engaged with the University of Minnesota in making adjustments to the 2013 RISP survey to capture key information to reflect the changing landscape of Medicaid authorities through which individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities are served, and to inform the FISP project.

Supporting families through the life Span community of Practice

the community of Practice for Supporting families grant from the Administration on intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AiDD) is designed to pursue the development and implementation of policies and practices that support families of individuals with i/DD.

The Community of Practice is jointly managed by NASDDDS and the University of Missouri-Kansas City – Institute on Human Development. The Human Services Research Institute is conducting the evaluation.

The Community of Practice states are:•Connecticut•District of Columbia•Oklahoma•Tennessee•Washington•Missouri collaborates as a mentor state

The overarching goal of the grant is to develop, test, and learn from states how to recognize and support families so that they can continue to support their family member to be fully engaged in the community, whether that person is living at home or elsewhere in the community.

States are focusing on policies and practices that reach across an individual’s life span, thinking about all people with I/DD regardless of their connection to the formal systems and working across agencies and communities to impact the trajectory of information. Early system changes

in the states are being seen in retooling the “front door” to I/DD supports, developing family networks, and using lifecourse planning tools to map and align state driven projects and services.

Updates on the project are posted on the Supporting Families website

www.supportstofamilies.org


Keeping employment a Priority

thirty state developmental disability agencies participated in the State employment leadership Network (SelN) during the 2013-2014 membership year with florida and New York being the newest member states.

The State Employment Leadership Network is a joint initiative of the National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disabilities Services (NASDDDS) and the Institute for Community Inclusion (ICI) at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Launched in 2006, the SELN is a membership-based network of state intellectual and developmental disabilities agencies committed to making changes in their service systems to

improve opportunities and integrated competitive employment outcomes for adolescents and adults with developmental disabilities.

NASDDDS subcontracts with the Institute for Community Inclusion, UMass Boston as partner in two Projects of National Significance funded by the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AIDD) to improve employment outcomes.
