Department of Developmental Services Regional Office, Middleboro, September 20th, 2017. Ed Wilson, the Regional Manager for Self-Directed Services in the Southeast Region, will present “Self – Directed Services: Taking Control of Your Future”. This is an opportunity to learn about Self-Directed Services and other innovative services which are helping individuals with disabilities connect with people in their community.
Self-Directed service delivery methods work directly with eligible participants and families to design supports that will be reflective of the unique needs of the individual. Together the individual and their family can determine their vision and strive to achieve it by creating their own individualized supports.
The “Participant Directed Program” and “Agency with Choice” offer individuals and families two additional options for how services are delivered to them. This presentation will provide an overview of Self Direction as well as traditional service options. Participants will learn how these options can offer them more decision making and control over services.
