Self-Determination

Self-Determination services support individuals who choose to direct their own services, budgets, and life plans. Through this model, participants take an active role in shaping the supports they receive while maintaining control over decisions that impact their daily lives. Our team provides guidance, education, and coordination to ensure each person feels confident navigating their options and building a plan aligned with their personal goals.
