About This Project

Summary

HCBS Final Rule The Animated Series is a collaboration between the Tri-Counties Regional Center, the California Department of Developmental Services (DDS) , and Public Pixels Media to produce 20 episodes of an animated series portraying memorable stories to illustrate complex concepts for those living or working within the Home Based Care System (HCBS). These episodes are translated across 20 languages including ASL to ensure access and inclusion across all of California's 21 regional centers.

Goals & Objectives

The HCBS Final Rule Animated Series has 2 objectives: 1.) To illustrate in a memorable way a series of 10 federal requirements encapsulating the rights of individuals receiving services from the state. 2.) To educate and enforce compliance internally with CA state vendors providing HCBS services.

Results & Impact

Released 4 months ago we have had over 40K visitors to our YouTube page and DDS has been thrilled at the response to the animated video content. They have ordered more episodes to be produced on other topics and funded the printing of of comic books and coloring books based on the HCBS series.
