  1. Missouri’s Interagency Statewide Planning Team: Improving Quality of Life for Individuals Across the Lifespan Julia LePage and Terri Rodgers Missouri DDD Rachel Freeman, University of Kansas

  2. Purpose of Presentation • Share how interagency collaboration is increasing in Missouri • Describe the tiered implementation training beginning in the MO Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) • Provide examples from organizations in Missouri who • Are implementing PBS • Are supporting individuals with disabilities

  3. Challenges of Disconnected System of Service Delivery • No system to inform schools that other agencies are working with the child and family • Agencies and schools do not work together to develop one plan with the child and family • Often agency people feel that they are asked to take sides – parents vs. the school • School personnel spending 60 - 120 minutes during meetings focusing only on the problems

  4. Challenges of Disconnected System of Service Delivery (Continued…) • Parents not sharing what it is like at home • Schools expecting parents to do it all - telling them what to do instead of collaborating around goals and dreams for child • “Too many words” or with “too much Jargon” because so many different systems are working to provide services to the child and family

  5. Challenges of Disconnected System of Service Delivery (Continued…) • Extra resources are required for each agency to develop similar training for staff • Each agency must have their own experts or do with out expertise

  6. Interagency Collaboration • Started in 2008 • Agencies included: • Missouri SW-PBS • Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) • Office of Quality Schools • Office of Special Education • Missouri Schools for the Severely Disabled • Department of Mental Health • Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) • Comprehensive Psychiatric Services
