So what is the Self-Determination Program?
The Self-Determination Program is all about an individual’s choice and control over the services they receive through their regional center and the money that pays for those services.
For many, the Self-Determination Program has been life changing because it provides more independence, freedom and control to regional center clients and their families. For example, participants and families may purchase services from traditional providers or choose local businesses instead. They can hire support workers directly or they can negotiate special arrangements with groups and individuals in their communities. Here, people with disabilities are in charge of their own lives, not the professionals or systems that support them.
Can I participate in the Self-Determination Program?
To be eligible for the program, you or your family member must:
- Have a developmental disability and currently be receiving services from a California regional center OR be a new client of a regional center
- Be over the age of three or, if under, be qualified for services through the Lanterman Act
- Live in the community and have free choice in your life. You are not eligible if you live in a licensed long-term health care facility unless you are using it to transition from that facility.
