If your agency is anything like our office, you can’t get through a meeting or a planning session without someone mentioning the CMS Final Rule.

And, if that’s not happening – it probably should be.

Being proactive is far better than reactive, especially when you’re facing multiple major adjustments to the way your entire business operates.  

Smart agencies aren’t just carrying on as usual - waiting for the Final Rule changes to happen. They’re studying the proposed changes now and they’re making gradual updates to their programs. They’re also designing strategic implementation timelines for the larger scale infrastructural and procedural modifications, so that even if everything isn’t done ahead of time – they’ll have a plan and a head start.

If you pay attention to I/DD news, you've likely seen the beautiful face (and body) of Madeline Stuart on your screen several times over the last couple of weeks. 

We're prouder than ever to partner with the Long Island's ACLD (Adults and Children with Learning and Developmental Disabilities, Inc.) 

12 women and six men strutted their stuff on the runway, in front of a crowd of nearly 250, for the agency's 2015 Spring Soiree. 

There is absolutely no question that when it comes to the I/DD world, the times - they are a' changin.
