Advocacy Advice Series
Visit the Research and Training Center on Outcome Measurement (RTCOM) website to learn more about Home and Community Based Services Outcome Measurement
This series is intended to explain each of the eight life domains for which the RTCOM has developed measures. Each measure is explained in terms of the outcomes people should be experiencing when given the right supports.
These videos serve to remind the viewers of their rights to have these kinds of outcomes according to their preferences, community resources that might be helpful, and, most importantly, concrete things they can advocate for with their DSPs and others. These videos and the accompanying technical resources are targeted at people receiving services as well as service providers, government systems staff, and policymakers.
