Artists receiving APD services from all of the Southern 11 providers are encouraged to submit their artwork. If visitors would like to purchase the art, the name and contact information is given to them to contact for purchase.<\/p>\n<p><strong> Who Benefits?

This showcases the many talents of the local artists and enhances awareness in the community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How could others apply this in practice?<\/strong> In Florida, there are many artists receiving services through APD. Some attend programs to hone these skills. This is a great way for artists, either attending or on their own, to showcase their art and increase community awareness about their skills.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n                                            \n                                        <\/div>\n\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/article>\n\n                            <\/li>\n\n                        \n                    \n                        \n                            <li class=\"lsvr-townpress-posts__item lsvr-townpress-posts__item--featured\">\n\n                                <article class=\"lsvr-townpress-posts__post post-605 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-best-practices-apd\">\n                                    <div class=\"lsvr-townpress-posts__post-inner\">\n\n                                        <header class=\"lsvr-townpress-posts__post-header\">\n\n                                            \n                                            <h3 class=\"lsvr-townpress-posts__post-title\">\n                                                <a href=\"https:\/\/florida.qlarant.com\/?p=605\" class=\"lsvr-townpress-posts__post-title-link\" rel=\"bookmark\">\n                                                    Best Practices &#8211; APD                                                <\/a>\n                                            <\/h3>\n\n                                            <p class=\"lsvr-townpress-posts__post-meta\">\n\n                                                <span class=\"lsvr-townpress-posts__post-meta-date\" role=\"group\">\n                                                    July 7, 2008                                                <\/span>\n\n                                                <span class=\"lsvr-townpress-posts__post-meta-categories\" role=\"group\">\n                                                    \n\t\t\t<span class=\"post__terms\">\n\t\t\t\tin <a href=\"https:\/\/florida.qlarant.com\/?cat=4\" class=\"post__term-link\">Best Practices &#8211; APD<\/a>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t                                                <\/span>\n\n                                            <\/p>\n\n                                        <\/header>\n\n                                        <div class=\"lsvr-townpress-posts__post-content\">\n\n                                            \n                                                <p><strong>Submission date: <\/strong>7\/7\/08<br \/>\n<strong>Submitted by:<\/strong> Shelia Bryant Butler<br \/>\n<strong>Provider name:<\/strong> null<br \/>\n<strong>APD Area: <\/strong>12<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Practice<\/strong><br \/>\nThe area 12 APD office has created a file audit check &#8211; list that is comprehensive and all inclusive.

This year\u2019s celebration built upon the success of last year and many more people were nominated for recognition. The occasion not only allowed for a tangible demonstration of teamwork and collaboration by providers, APD and FCC but also publicly recognized people for their hard work. Discussion at the steering committee meeting that followed the awards ceremony focused on further developing the system of rewarding hard working entities. Thoughts are that different categories of achievement should be recognized at future awards ceremonies. Kudos to the staff who were recognized and to all who made the event possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who Benefits? <\/strong>All benefit <strong><\/p>\n<p>How? <\/strong> Individuals benefit by having such dedicated staff work with them.
