HCBS Training

This module is not meant to list every problem that occurs while teams take steps toward improving person-centered practices. However, these are some of the common challenges that many teams have encountered. This module addresses each of the examples below in more detail.

Examples of Challenges Encountered by Teams

• Teams may not be able to solve problems and make decisions together.
• "Resistance" from staff and others may occur in response to different types of person-centered or positive support practices.
• Challenges may come up while addressing cultural responsiveness.
• Frequent staff turnover can make training and the overall change process more difficult.
• Problem solving what is important TO and important FOR people can be challenging.
• Teams are often integrating multiple positive supports into HCBS
