I am looking forward to using it to update our current orientation curriculum. Thanks to all for creating this impressive resource!

CAC member / We plan to use the curriculum to incorporate ideas that have proved valuable by other Advisory Councils across the country. / Plain Text version / We want to give our Advisory Council a "Booster Shot" so that we can better advise our UCEDD. We hope to gather ideas of ways to better involve those members who aren't typically at the table.
CAC member; UCEDD Director / We used the materials in our orientation meeting, with all CAC members to discuss meaningful participation. / We used the curriculum, but didn't need to adapt it. There were some areas we emphasized more than others (e.g., bylaws). / Tha Caldwell, Haus, Richins, and Stark (2006, March) was extremely useful as a supplement to the Curriculum.
UCEDD Staff / We used the components of the curriculum to inhance our CAC member materials. We also hope to schedule time in an upcoming meeting to address specific areas. / Plain Text version / I think this is a much needed and very useful resource for UCEDDs.
UCEDD Director / We already had developed orientation materials, I reviewed it when we were bringing on new members. / I liked some of the definitions used to explain the functions of the UCEDD. / The CA Federal Partners conducted a study on the meaningful participation of consumers on our boards/committees and councils. The availability of alternative formats and discussions about individual support were paramount to their participation. Issues around appropriate facilitation and group process that support consumer participation were also very important. I believe the curriculum needs to address determining individual needs, information about as universal design, and the use of facilitators
