Will my Independent Facilitator have suggestions for my child's SDP budget or is it entirely up to me?
Published: Nov. 1, 2024
During the transition process to Self-Determination, you should work in a collaborative manner with your Independent Facilitator. As your child's person-centered plan is built, your Independent Facilitator should get to know your child and family. They should be giving suggestions for how to build your child's budget, and with your feedback, you create the budget together. Your IF should also know what your Regional Center typically provides, so you can talk to them about ideas for what to include in the spending plan.
