How do I make a Self-Determination Program budget and plan?

Participants have three options for support in creating their Self-Determination plan:

• Hire a facilitator to help create the PCP and spending plan, find and hire the right people, decide how much they should be paid, and mediate issues with providers. The facilitator can be paid using the plan’s budget. (Undivided offers facilitator services; please email us at selfdetermination@undivided.io if you would like to learn more.)
• Use your Regional Center service coordinator (keep in mind that many have high caseloads and some people consider it to be a conflict of interest).
• Manage the process yourself.

Setting it up is the hardest part. Once everything is set up, it's just little tweaks along the way. Some people use an independent facilitator in the beginning and then manage it themselves, once things get going. For more information, check out our article Self-Determination 101.
