Self-Determination Services
Generalizing Skills in the Community
SDS allows individuals with developmental disabilities to receive an individualized budget to independently choose their own services and supports. Through this program, families can hire their own providers, rather than being limited to the traditional regional center vendor network
It is imperative that children can use the skills they have learned in their in-home programs in a functional and meaningful way. Developing skills that have an impact on long-term goals is important to us. We provide social skills groups and the ability to practice their skills in the community.
