Multiple Choice

IDAPA rules require that a Support Broker must assist children in the Family-Directed Community Supports, FDCS, transition into Adult DD services.

Assisting children in the FDCS transition into Adult DD services is a required role for a Support Broker. The idea is to ensure a smooth, timely handoff from child-directed supports to adult supports so services continue without interruption as the individual becomes an adult. The broker helps families understand available adult DD options, coordinates with adult service providers, and updates the plan to reflect new goals and supports. This continuity is essential, because delaying, redirecting, or not assisting would create gaps in services and wouldn’t meet the mandated responsibilities.
