What are Curious Conversations?
Curious Conversations bring people with different experiences and perspectives together to discuss topics they might not usually talk about. They provide a safe space to learn with and from one another. Each session will focus on a different HCBS requirement, using Tri-Counties Regional Center’s HCBS Final Rule: The Animated Series videos to spark conversations.
We would like to thank Livingroom Conversations for the inspiration and format for these resources.

Service providers, People with intellectual/developmental disabilities, Family members, Regional center staff, and any interested community members.
