We help Orange County families with loved ones who have developmental disabilities take control of their services through California's Self-Determination Program.
The Self-Determination Program (SDP) is a voluntary alternative to traditional Regional Center services. Instead of being limited to a list of approved vendors, you receive an Individual Budget and decide how to spend it on the supports that fit your family best.
Every Californian eligible for Regional Center services is now eligible for SDP — but the paperwork, planning, and decision-making can be overwhelming. That's where we come in.
We walk alongside your family through every step of the Self-Determination Program — from your first orientation to managing your plan year after year.
We help you understand the program, weigh the tradeoffs, and complete the paperwork to enroll through your Regional Center.
We facilitate a planning process that puts your loved one's goals, strengths, and dreams at the center — not a checklist of services.
We help you understand your Individual Budget and build a Spending Plan that meets Regional Center requirements while reflecting your priorities.
We help you find, vet, and hire qualified providers — from respite workers to behavior support to community-based programs.
We guide you through choosing a Financial Management Service (FMS) and setting up the back-office side of your plan.
Life changes. We're here to help you adjust your plan, troubleshoot issues with the Regional Center, and keep your services working.
We meet with your family — in person, by phone, or video — to understand your situation and answer your questions about SDP. No pressure, no cost.
Once you decide to move forward, we set up a service agreement that's paid through your Regional Center Individual Budget — typically at no out-of-pocket cost to your family.
We facilitate person-centered planning, help you develop your Spending Plan, and submit everything to the Regional Center for approval.
We stay with you to launch services, manage the budget, and adjust the plan as your family's needs change. You're not navigating this alone.
We're not a vendor selling services. We're independent — our only job is to help your family get the most out of the Self-Determination Program.
