Self-Directed Supports is an option for which group?

Self-Directed Supports are a waiver-based option that gives participants more control over their services, including choosing who provides supports and how funds are spent to meet their goals. This option applies to adults who are eligible for the Adult Developmental Disabilities Waiver. It’s designed for adults with developmental disabilities who meet the waiver criteria, allowing them to tailor services to their needs and hire their own staff if they wish. It isn’t available to every participant regardless of waiver status, since Self-Directed Supports are tied to a specific waiver program. Likewise, adults who aren’t eligible for any waiver don’t have access to this option, and while some waivers for children exist, this particular option is described here for adults in the Adult Developmental Disabilities Waiver.
