Workshops for Independent Living

When helping someone through a challenge, Dr. Z looks at the whole person, not just the behavior. She and the team consider things like health, emotions, environment, and support from others to find what works for each person. Whether someone needs help with big changes, communication, or staying organized, we work together to create plans that make sense. We also teach important everyday skills like self-care and keeping a routine to help people grow, succeed, and become more independent.

Do you have the FIS Waiver?

CADC offers special training for people who have the FIS waiver and their families or caregivers. These sessions teach real-life skills to help with caregiving, make daily life better, and give you the support you need. 


What We Offer:


Helpful, Hands-On Training:
You can join group workshops, seminars, or one-on-one sessions to learn useful caregiving tips, understand disabilities better, and grow your confidence in speaking up for yourself or your loved one.


Support from Experts:
Our team includes nurses, therapists, social workers, and people with real-life experience, so you’ll learn from those who truly understand and care.


Covered by Your FIS Waiver:
These trainings are part of your Individual Support Plan (ISP) and can be covered by your FIS waiver, up to $4,000 each year (not including travel, room, or meals). You can attend in person or online.


At CADC, we’re here to give you the tools and support you need to feel more confident and provide the best care you can.

How it works

  •  STEP 1: Complete the Referral
    Contact your support coordinator, who will fill out a referral for the training service.


  • STEP 2: Attend the Intake Meeting
    An intake meeting will be scheduled to identify your training needs and any additional learning support required.


  • STEP 3: Get the Approved Service Authorization
    A service authorization is submitted by CADC. Once approved, you, family members (who are not paid care providers), and caregivers can enroll in any CADC workshop, webinar, or event focused on your learning needs.


  • BOUNS *** No Out-of-Pocket Costs:
    The cost of the activity you sign up for is billed directly to the FIS waiver, so participants won’t have to pay out-of-pocket to enhance their skills.
