SELF DETERMINATION
< Back to Self Determination main page
HOW DO YOU BEGIN?
As a participant in the Self-Determination Pilot
Project, here is what you would do.
- Form a circle of support. (A circle of support is
made up of people you encounter in your
everyday life that you trust
and can depend on to help you.)
- With the help of your Circle, develop a person
centered plan that tells what you want to do.
- Identify the supports and services you need.
- Create an individualized budget to pay for your
supports and services.
