    I am interested in opening a Performing Arts Center for the developmentally
    disabled. I have 10 years experience working as a nurse and group home
    manager. I taught dance for 42 years. Started as a teenager. I really
    want to teach dance and music to the clients. Do I have to become a solo
    provider first. Any help would be appreciated as I get nothing from APD.

    Hi, I read your desire to teach dance and music. Did you plan on opening
    an ADT? That would be through APD - if you are expecting to be compensated
    through med waiver, you need to become a provider through them. I don't
    know what the criteria is for what is taught in ADT,
    but you could
    possibly have dance and music as primary. Maybe you just haven't spoken to
    the right people. Keep trying! As we know, dance and music is the
    language we all speak and we all could use more
    positive language! Good
    luck!

    Thank you very much. I'm doing more research right now and maybe in the
    spring I'll be ready to open a studio.

    Great Idea! I hope you open in Brandon. Lot's of people there that would
    be interested. I would suggest going on the APD Florida website and look
    at the I Budget Handbook under Life Skills ADT. That should tell you how
    to word things the right way. What a refreshing idea for our folks! Keep
    us posted.
