2:00pm-3:00pm EST

As I/DD providers look to diversify revenue beyond Medicaid, many leaders are asking the same question: Where do we start—and how do we execute? This webinar focuses on turning strategy into action by outlining clear, practical steps for launching and scaling new I/DD revenue opportunities.

Designed for provider leaders who are ready to move from planning to implementation, this session delivers clear, step-by-step guidance for executing on a targeted set of high-impact I/DD revenue opportunities. We will walk through concrete execution considerations across five priority areas, including special education partnerships, supported employment contracting, autism and ABA-related services, workforce screening and placement models, and proprietary business development.

The session will also include a brief demonstration of emerging technology designed to support direct support professionals and strengthen day-to-day execution as organizations expand services.

Learning Objectives:

  • Apply concrete steps for launching or expanding selected I/DD revenue opportunities beyond Medicaid
  • Understand key operational and compliance considerations when executing new service lines across education, employment, and autism support
  • Recognize how technology can enable frontline execution and scalability as I/DD organizations grow

Attendees will leave with practical direction, operational clarity, and a clearer path from strategy to sustainable growth.
