Services Offered

As an Independent Facilitator, I provide comprehensive support for participants in the
Self-Determination Program (SDP). My services are designed to empower individuals with
special needs and their families by offering personalized assistance in a variety of critical areas:

Person-Centered Planning (PCP)

At the heart of the Self-Determination Program (SDP) is Person-Centered Planning (PCP), a process that focuses entirely on the individual’s unique strengths, needs, and aspirations. Our team works closely with you and your family to develop a customized plan that aligns with your goals, values, and preferences. The PCP serves as the foundation for identifying the supports and services that will enable you to lead a fulfilling and independent life. We listen, collaborate, and tailor your plan to ensure it reflects your vision for the future.

Transitioning into SDP

Navigating the shift from traditional services into the Self-Determination Program (SDP) can be overwhelming. Our experienced team is here to guide you every step of the way, making the transition smooth and stress-free. From understanding the initial steps of eligibility and orientation to designing your spending plan, we’ll provide the expertise and support you need to take full control of your services. Whether you’re just beginning or in the final stages of enrollment, we help ensure your transition is seamless.

Finding Resources

Finding the right resources can be one of the most challenging aspects of Self-Determination. With our extensive knowledge of local, regional, and state resources, we’ll assist you in identifying the supports and services that meet your specific needs. From therapeutic services to recreational opportunities, we’ll connect you with trusted providers who share your goals and values. We help you find the right fit, so you can focus on what matters most—achieving independence and a higher quality of life.

Negotiating Rates

Understanding and negotiating service rates within the SDP is critical to maximizing your budget and securing high-quality services. Our team advocates on your behalf, using our knowledge of the system to negotiate fair rates with service providers. We work to ensure that your needs are met without compromising on the quality of care or exceeding your budget. Our goal is to empower you with the tools and confidence needed to make informed decisions while maintaining financial responsibility.

Advocacy

We are passionate about advocating for individuals with disabilities and their families. Whether it’s ensuring your rights are respected, addressing concerns with service providers, or advocating for changes in the system, we are by your side every step of the way. Our advocacy services aim to empower you to confidently navigate complex systems, ensuring your voice is heard and your needs are met. You don’t have to face challenges alone—our team is here to champion your cause.

Building Confidence

One of our primary goals is to help you build the confidence to take control of your own life. Through every service we offer—whether it’s planning, resource identification, or advocacy—we aim to equip you with the skills, knowledge, and self-assurance needed to thrive. We empower you to make informed decisions, advocate for your needs, and pursue your goals with confidence. Together, we work toward fostering independence and a bright future full of possibilities.

Troubleshooting

Challenges are inevitable, but having the right support makes all the difference. Whether you’re experiencing difficulties with service providers, budget management, or finding the right resources, we are here to help troubleshoot any issues that arise. Our team is experienced in identifying solutions and overcoming obstacles in the Self-Determination Program. From navigating complex processes to resolving conflicts, we work with you to find the best path forward, ensuring that your plan stays on track and your needs are met without unnecessary stress.
