Short Description: Proposal Number: Recommended Funding: Regional Office: Goal Area: Number of People Served: Training on the Health Profile C4301 $20,000 North State Goal 4 Health and Safety ### Grants funds will be used to begin stage 2 of a 3-stage campaign designed to help individual practitioners and law enforcement personnel have a better understanding of developmental disabilities, as well as assist individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families to effectively communicate with these professionals. This will be done by continuing the work that the Council has started by creating individual and universal passports. The campaign will also provide specific information about some of the unique physical and mental health problems that can occur in adults with I/DD and suggest approaches to ensure compliance and cooperation. Specifically, this Grant Proposal states it will design, produce and distribute training videos on the use of health passports and conduct interactive training seminars using both video and in-person demonstrations. While funds are being used to launch stage 2 of the campaign in the North State Region counties of Butte, Glenn and Tehama, this model has the potential to be used in communicating with law enforcement and healthcare professionals statewide PROPOSAL NUMBER C4301

The proposal has two goals. The first is to enhance the knowledge, skills, abilities and competencies of job developers by creating strong relationships with organizations that enhance employment opportunities for clients with I/DD. The second is to provide job developers with research-based interview and job-seeking tools to train clients with I/DD, which in turn will increase success in attaining and successfully completing job interviews. The target population of this proposal is the job developers within California school districts, Community-colleges and other institutions with the mandate to create employment opportunities for individuals with I/DD.
