Project Description:
Older Virginians and individuals with disabilities, along with their families and other supporters, (hereafter,individuals) have long expressed their desire for greater choice and control in identifying, accessing, and managing the long-term services and supports they need to live successfully in their communities. Through self direction, individuals increase their ability to discuss, communicate, and direct their lifestyle choices. They gain access to information about the availability and use of supports and services, including creative and inclusive options for employment, housing, transportation, health care, and other supports that maximize life in the community. Moreover, resources are more efficiently allocated and expended when they are self-directed and support individuals rather than programs. Virginia has the necessary leadership and stakeholder support to enhance self direction. This goal strongly supports increasing self-directed service delivery options.
