Transition Times Special Meeting- Self Directed Services
Self-direction, sometimes called consumer-direction or participant-direction, provides participants a greater degree of choice in how services are delivered, when, where, and the rate of payment. The core functions of self-direction are CHOICE and CONTROL over how services are provided, and who is being paid to provide these services. The DDA's Family Supports Waiver, Community Supports Waiver, and Community Pathways Waiver all offers the option of self-direct services.
