DD Awareness Month in Florida
 Florida ARF Recognizes DD Awareness Month – Tallahassee, FL (March 28, 2013) March is National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month (NDDAM) and is a time when many of you are joining with others to raise awareness about developmental disability issues and the challenges faced by individuals with all types of disabilities. We agree wholeheartedly with the statement released by the national UCP organization which reads as follows: “During NDDAM, there are many accomplishments to celebrate. Advances in technology continue to enable greater participation in all kinds of activities, from video games to voting. Landmark legislation like the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has expanded access to services like healthcare and housing. Individuals with disabilities participated in the London Olympic games and the Miss America pageant last year, and the disability community was even mentioned in President Obama’s second inaugural address in January. But the challenges for people with disabilities continue despite these important advances. While the number of people in the United States with disabilities continues to grow, state and federal budget cuts threaten funding for vital government programs and services.” |
|
| Earlier this week, we were pleased to see Florida’s House and Senate Appropriations Committees recognized the need to appropriate additional funding to expand services to individuals with developmental disabilities who have been on a waitlist for services for many years. Also, The Arc of Florida’s legislative proposal to remove use of the “R” word from state legislation is receiving strong support. Within our member agencies, we see so many of you addressing the needs of individuals with developmental disabilities in such positive ways, often with limited resources and restrictions, and we celebrate your efforts and accomplishments. While we still have much work to do to assist you in achieving your missions, it is rewarding to find so many things to celebrate! |

Florida Regional Conference – A Success!
For two days, December 4th & 5th, over 100 attendees and a Therap Team of 6 came together in West Palm Beach Florida to share a common Thread: THERAP!
The opening Plenary on Day 1 welcomed all that came from across Florida and even a couple of folks from Georgia!
Therap’s new Training and Support Specialist for Florida, Chelsea Newby was introduced as well as Brie Nihan, Billing Specialist who just started last week and is working with Mr. Jim Kelley, Therap Vice Chairman to support our Billing customers. Seasoned trainers, Stacey Kernisan and Leah Marshall, were also present to support and provide training sessions throughout the two day conference.
The feedback was as excellent as our weather and the hotel staff at the West Palm Beach Airport Holiday Inn did a stellar job in supporting our conference. Not to mention our appetites as the food was quite delicious!
We really enjoyed seeing our Therap Customers as well as new ones and those who came to learn more.
Thank you all who participated in making this an excellent experience for all of us!
I hope to see many of you in East Hanover, New Jersey at the Theraps National Conference January 29th-31st!
