What is Self Determination?

You design your plan and direct your budget. These five ideas guide the program.

Freedom — design your life and supports. Authority — control your budget and choices. Support — build a team that knows you. Responsibility — use funds for outcomes that matter. Confirmation — your voice leads decisions.
