You can choose Self-Direction if you are eligible for OPWDD services and enrolled in the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver. Self-Direction might be a good choice for you if: 1. You want your services and schedule to be more open to change. 2. You are ready to decide on your services independently or with help. 3. You want to be more in charge of running your services. Think about what kind of help you need at home, in your community, and in your daily life before you start. You can always go back to a more traditional support model if you try self-directing your services and find that it doesn't work.
