Navigating Support Coordination with Confidence
Tuesday, March 4
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm (EST)
Registration opening soon!
Support Coordination is a vital resource for individuals and families, offering guidance and planning for all adult services available to those eligible for Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) services. A Support Coordinator works closely with the individual and their family to initiate the person-centered planning process, including developing the Individualized Service Plan (ISP).
Join Ebony Steele, Support Coordinator and Coordinated Care of MetroWest Case Manager for Jewish Family Service (JFS) MetroWest, as she shares her expertise on:
- Identifying a Support Coordinator
- Understanding their roles and responsibilities
- Decoding waivers, tiers, and acuity levels
Workshop highlights include:
- Exploring options for young adults transitioning to adult services
- Person-Centered Planning
- Navigating the ISP
- Understanding waivers, tiers, and acuity
This informative workshop is designed to equip parents and caregivers with the knowledge they need to confidently partner with a Support Coordinator.

Security at Federation Events
The Gloria and Jesse Weissberg Community Security Initiative (CSI) is coordinating all security with local, county, and state law enforcement. At every Federation event, all available resources are utilized to ensure your safety. Important items of note:
- Bag policy: Backpacks, luggage, and large purses are not permitted at events. We encourage you not to bring a bag, if possible, or to bring a very small bag. All bags may be subject to search.
- Additional security measures: Additional security procedures may be implemented (e.g. metal detectors) as needed.
- Social media protocol: We ask you not to share the location of a Federation event prior to or during the event and to refrain from posting about a Federation activity until after it has ended, and the site is clear of attendees.
Building an inclusive community is a priority. Please email [email protected] to let us know if you require an accommodation to meaningfully participate in an event. One of our Federation professionals will reach out to you to learn more.
