In SDS, a Plan of Support serves as the roadmap for how supports will be provided. It should clearly state the participant’s goals and the outcomes expected, so everyone understands what success looks like. It then lists the services to be funded and the chosen providers who will deliver those supports, with budget details that show how funds are allocated. It also outlines responsibilities—who does what, including the participant, family, and the support broker—and sets timelines for implementing and reviewing services. Finally, it includes evaluation criteria or measures to monitor progress and guide adjustments. This combination makes the plan actionable, accountable, and aligned with the person’s preferences, whereas the other options don’t provide the full mix of goals, funded services, providers, budget, responsibilities, timelines, and evaluation.
