Self-Direction from OPWDD (Office for People With Developmental Disabilities) is a program that allows individuals with developmental disabilities to have more control over their services and supports. Here's a simple breakdown:
Individuals and their families can choose the services and supports that best fit their needs and preferences. This means they can decide what kind of help they get, who provides it, and when and where they receive it.
Participants are given a budget that they can use to pay for the services and supports they choose. This budget is based on their individual needs and goals.
The program offers flexibility in how services are provided. For example, participants can hire their own staff, such as personal aides or therapists, and set their schedules.
Overall, the Self-Direction program aims to empower individuals to live more independently and achieve their personal goals by giving them more say in their care and support.
