Reimbursement for purchases to meet consumers IPP objectives.

Example

Your usual supply of diapers paid by the regional center did not arrive. You were out of diapers, so you had to purchase them at the local store. Since diapers are included in the IPP, the regional center can pay you back for the expenses you paid.
