Self-Directed Support Services, also called General Self-Directed Supports, are short-term services provided after a person completes Self-Determination Program orientation and before enrollment. They help the person plan, prepare, identify needed supports, and transition successfully into the Self-Determination Program.

General Self-Directed Supports are short-term services provided after a person completes Self-Determination Program (SDP) orientation and before enrollment. Regional centers may authorize up to 40 hours (with additional hours as needed) to help individuals plan and prepare for a successful transition into SDP, provided by qualified vendors.

You completed the Self-Determination Program orientation but need help understanding your goals, thinking through services, preparing for your spending plan, and getting ready to enroll.
