Start a Group Home or Day Program— Even If You’ve Never Done This Before
IDD Business Launch Intensive (In-Person | Sunday, March 8)
🕙 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM (Day Program)
🕔 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM (Full Day: Day Program + Group Home)
Taught by operators who run licensed programs—and a national compliance reviewer who evaluates facilities for accreditation readiness.
Why attend:
✔ Learn from real operators who run licensed programs
✔ Get insight from a national compliance & accreditation reviewer
✔ Leave with a step-by-step launch roadmap
If you’ve ever thought, “I want to build a real business that actually helps people,” but didn’t know where to begin—this one-day intensive is your on-ramp into the IDD (Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities) services space.
No healthcare background required.
No prior experience needed.
Just a clear roadmap from people who do this work and review other programs for compliance.
⚠️ Seats are limited to keep this hands-on. Registration typically fills before the event date.
What You’ll Learn
- Step-by-step startup roadmap for Day Programs
- Step-by-step startup roadmap for Group Homes
- Licensing & compliance basics (what to expect + common pitfalls)
- Staffing and operational considerations
- Startup timelines and realistic expectations
- How to avoid fines, delays, and missteps
- What to focus on first so you don’t get overwhelmed
