Who decides the types of goods and services in the CDCS model?

In the CDCS (Consumer-Directed Community Services) approach, the family is the one who controls the plan and decides which goods and services are needed to reach the person’s goals. The broker acts as a facilitator and fiscal intermediary, helping with budgeting, paperwork, and coordination, but does not choose what to buy. The provider delivers the services that the family has chosen, and the state funds the plan within policy limits, but it does not determine the specific items for the individual. This setup centers on family choice and control over supports.
