About PDP
Participant-directed services are Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) that help people of all ages, across all types of disabilities, maintain their independence and determine for themselves what mix of personal assistance supports and services work best for them. Participant direction empowers each program participant to expand his or her degree of choice and control over decisions made about his or her long-term services and supports in a highly personalized manner.
How do I know which program is right for me?
PDP consists of two programs, Consumer-Directed Attendant Support Services (CDASS) and In-Home Support Services (IHSS):
-
CDASS is a service-delivery option that allows HCBS waiver participants to direct their care and have full control over their attendant services. See the CDASS Fact Sheet for more information.
-
IHSS is a participant-directed service-delivery option that allows HCBS waiver participants to direct and manage their care with the support of an agency. See the IHSS Fact Sheet for more information.
PDP Stakeholder Engagement
The Participant-Directed Programs Policy Collaborative (PDPPC) is a joint monthly meeting for stakeholders and the Department. The PDPPC is a place where stakeholders and the Department work together, with transparency, on issues relating to CDASS and IHSS.
