Self-Determination Program Overview

Is your loved one a regional center client? Do you want to hear about a program that may bring them more freedom of choice and independence before and after their transition to adulthood?
The Self-Determination Program (SDP) provides individuals and their families with more control and responsibility in choosing services and supports to help them meet their life’s goals. The SDP is available to all lanterman (over 3 years-old) eligible individuals receiving services from a regional center.
Please join Evan Gilliland, Participant Choice Specialist from the San Andreas Regional Center, as he:
- Explains what the SDP provides participants
- Introduces the 5 principles of self-determination: freedom, authority, support, responsibility, confirmation
- Discusses how to begin your SDP journey
- Describes the transition process from traditional services to the SDP
This is a Connections California event, a project of Parents Helping Parents - Silicon Valley. Connections California is in part sponsored by the San Andreas Regional Center and the California Department of Developmental Services.
