Self-Determination Advisory Committee - Far Northern Regional Center

“Self-determination” means a voluntary delivery system consisting of a defined and comprehensive mix of services and supports, selected and directed by a participant through person-centered planning, in order to meet the objectives in his or her IPP. Self-determination services and supports are designed to assist the participant to achieve personally defined outcomes in community settings that promote inclusion. The Self-Determination Program shall only fund services and supports provided pursuant to this division that the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services determines are eligible for federal financial participation.

Join us for discussions on the Self-Determination Program at our next committee meeting. Be part of the planning of new delivery of services and provide input of how you would like to see the program develop. Please share with us your ideas to better shape the program moving forward.
