What is Self-Determination?
The Self-Determination Program (SDP) is a voluntary alternative way of receiving Regional Center services in California that offers participants more flexibility, choice, and control.
The 5 Principles of SDP:
Freedom: To plan a life with the same rights as everyone else.
Authority: To control a budget to purchase needed services and supports.
Support: To pick the people and agencies that will help you.
Responsibility: To manage public funds and be accountable for results.
Confirmation: Of the critical role that participants and their families play in making decisions.
What is Personal Centered Planning?
The Personal Centered Plan is for any age, understanding the health needs for community based services and desired outcomes, wants, dreams, likes/dislikes, and strengths/challenges. When setting your goals and planning for services and supports, keep things person-centered. The Department of Developmental Services (DDS) has the below video series to prepare you and the people who will be in your Individual Program Planning (IPP) meeting to think about what you want for your life and future.
