Help Develop Education Modules for the Developmental Disabilities Alternate Level of Care Collaborative

About the Opportunity

The Specialized Clinical DS Network (SCDSN) is looking for subject matter experts (SMEs) and persons with lived experience to help develop education modules for the Developmental Disabilities Alternate Level of Care (DD ALC) collaborative project to build capacity within the DS sector to better support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) who are currently designated as Alternate Level of Care (ALC) in hospital settings. The goal is to facilitate their safe and sustainable transition into community-based living environments.

What will be expected of me?

• Selected SMEs (4) will be responsible for researching, creating and presenting materials related to a module for the 4-module staff learning video package in an interactive and inclusive fashion in collaboration with a person with lived experience as well as facilitating 5 bi-monthly Communities of Practice (CoPs) for support staff who have taken the training and applying the skills learned into practice.
• Selected people with lived experience (4) will work with the SMEs to provide input based on their lived experience to ensure the modules include real-life experience and ideas.
• Participants will receive financial compensation for their time.
