Olmstead
Training Resources
ILRU
(Independent Living Research Utilization) ( "In
2001, ILRU partnered with BIA,
Inc. to conduct five regional training sessions on implementation of the Olmstead
decision. The purpose of the project, "Disability
Advocacy in a Post-Olmstead Environment," was to prepare advocates to
advance implementation of the Olmstead
decision within each state. The project offered training and information
resources. Participants concluded training with a basic understanding of the Olmstead
decision, consumer direction, personal assistance services, Medicaid policy and
practices, related state laws, Olmstead plans, related services and benefits,
and exemplary programs and strategies for Olmstead implementation. Additionally,
participants had a clear understanding of how to secure in-depth information on
all of these topics. Included in this site is the listing of trainers
and the dates of
the training and the states
that participated. ILRU continues to assist in the implementation of the Olmstead
decision in 2002 through training, technical assistance, and the provision of
working with advocates in their states on developing plans for delivering
services to people with disabilities. Please
check out the "What's
New" section of this site for the latest news and reports surrounding
the issues of implementing Olmstead." Contact Information: ILRU
