WELCOME TO SCDD!

The State Council on Developmental Disabilities (SCDD) is established by state
and federal law as an independent state agency to ensure that people with
developmental disabilities and their families receive the services and supports
they need.

Consumers know best what supports and services they need to live independently
and to actively participate in their communities. Through advocacy, capacity
building and systemic change, SCDD works to achieve a consumer and family-based
system of individualized services, supports, and other assistance.

Self-Determination Program

The Self-Determination Program is expanding! Starting July 1, 2021, all eligible
regional center clients will have the choice to participate. 



What is the Self-Determination Program?
The Self-Determination Program is all about an individual’s choice and control
over the services they receive through their regional center and the money that
pays for those services. 
 
For many, the Self-Determination Program has been life changing because it
provides more independence, freedom and control to regional center clients and
their families. For example, participants and families may purchase services
from traditional providers or choose local businesses instead. They can hire
support workers directly or they can negotiate special arrangements with groups
and individuals in their communities. Here, people with disabilities are in
charge of their own lives, not the professionals or systems that support them.
 
Can I participate in the Self-Determination Program?
To be eligible for the program, you or your family member must:
 * Have a developmental disability and currently be receiving services from a
   California regional center OR be a new client of a regional center
 * Be over the age of three or, if under, be qualified for services through the
   Lanterman Act
 * Live in the community and have free choice in your life. You are not eligible
   if you live in a licensed long-term health care facility unless you are using
   it to transition from that facility.

Resources
To contact your area’s Regional Center about next steps, please click Regional
