To further clarify the directive issued on February 13, 2019, and the directive issued on September 3, 2019, the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) is providing regional centers with this guidance regarding payments for initial person- centered planning in the Self-Determination Program (SDP).
When regional centers are purchasing initial SDP person-centered planning services, those services may include payments to independent facilitators who are carrying out any of the Independent Facilitator roles specified in the Department’s December 21, 2018 directive.
This guidance is limited only to the purchase of initial person-centered planning services for SDP participants. If you have any questions regarding this correspondence, please contact [email protected].
Sincerely,
