Remote Supports (CQL Webinar)
2025-08-05 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | RI
Remote supports are a hot topic in the disability services sector. Important questions are being raised about how remote supports are designed, implemented, and assessed. How can technology be effectively put in place to promote independence? What are the ethical considerations to explore? How can we ensure people receiving services are the decision-makers involving remote supports? When does technology start to become a rights restriction? What are the real-world implications in people’s lives?
In this free Q&A style webinar Remote Supports: ‘Ask The Expert’ with Envision Unlimited, you’ll receive guidance, tips, and insight from an agency that has successfully implemented remote supports. We’re welcoming Envision Unlimited’s Kristen Salkas (Director of Innovation), Tina Lowry (Director of Quality Assurance), and Jesse (person receiving services) to describe their journey, detail real-life experiences, and answer your questions. You can share your questions via the Zoom registration form or ask them during the live session.

The Lives & Careers of DSPs and How to Support Them (ANCOR Webinar)
2025-08-06 13:00 - 14:00 | RI
Chronic instability in the Direct Support Professional (DSP) workforce disrupts continuity, predictability, and trust for people with I/DD. The DSP workforce often faces challenges related to poverty that go undiscussed. This webinar will explore how systemic barriers—both inside and outside the workplace—impact DSPs and threaten the sustainability of services.
Data and new research are critical tools in addressing the key challenges facing our workforce. Using national data from the National Core Indicators State of the Workforce Survey for I/DD, as well as new research on DSPs’ lived experiences, we’ll highlight fundamental disconnects between DSPs’ needs and employer perceptions of their needs. Attendees will learn how these insights can inform workforce strategies at every level—from policy to provider practice.
The webinar also features a promising solution: a Georgia-based initiative that helps employers build Employee Resource Networks (ERNs) to connect DSPs with essential supports like housing, childcare, and food access. Together, these approaches offer practical, systemic tools to stabilize and strengthen the DSP workforce.

Valerie Bradley, President Emerita, Human Services Research Institute
Carol Britton Laws, PhD, MSW, Clinical Professor, Institute on Human Development and Disability, University of Georgia
Jennifer Cohen, PhD, Associate Professor, Miami University
Dorothy Hiersteiner, Co-Director of National Core Indicators, Human Services Research Institute
