The Integrated ICC Independent Facilitators play a crucial role in supporting individuals participating in the Self-Determination Program (SDP). Here’s how our trained Integradora Independent Facilitators assist families on their SDP journey:
Our Integradora Independent Facilitators bring a wealth of knowledge and lived experience to the table. This combination of expertise and empathy allows us to guide families through the SDP transition, identify potential barriers, and ensure that individuals can fully engage and participate in the program. Our ultimate goal is to support individuals in achieving meaningful and self-directed lives within the SDP framework
The Integrated Community Collaborative (ICC) is dedicated to fostering meaningful and organic connections within the Latino community through Proyecto LIDER (Latinos Integrating Diversity, Equity & Resources). Our approach is rooted in cultural understanding, peer-to-peer support, and building strong relationships.
Here’s a glimpse of what Proyecto LIDER entails:
Holistic Family Engagement: We believe in engaging every family member, recognizing their unique needs and roles within the family unit. By offering tailored program options, we empower, inform, engage, and collaborate with each family member to create a supportive network.
Navigating the Regional System: Our primary objective is to assist families in navigating the complex regional center system. We understand the disparities and roadblocks that many Latino families face, and we are committed to addressing these issues head-on.
Collaborative Approach: We actively collaborate with regional centers and various stakeholders to integrate support systems and tackle critical issues. By working together, we can improve the overall process and achieve outcomes that truly matter.
Meaningful Outcomes: Our ultimate goal is to bring about meaningful change for all involved. Whether it’s providing vital resources, addressing disparities, or facilitating access to support services, we strive to make a positive impact on the lives of Latino families.
Proyecto LIDER is more than a program; it’s a commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion within the Latino community. Through our organic, culturally sensitive, and relationship-based approach, we aim to empower and uplift every family member while driving positive change in the regional support system.
Together, we can achieve meaningful outcomes and create a more inclusive and equitable future.
