In self-directed services, the person receiving services—the participant—takes the lead as the employer and actively participates in planning meetings to shape their supports. This involvement lets the participant express goals, outline needs, and decide who will provide services and how they are scheduled and funded. The direct service worker is there to deliver services, but they aren’t the primary decision-maker in planning. An inspector is focused on oversight and compliance, not on planning the ongoing supports, and a public relations firm handles external communications, not service planning. So the participant (employer) is the best fit for participating in planning meetings.
