Self direction is a service model that allows individuals, particularly those with disabilities or special needs, to have greater control over the services and supports they receive. This approach empowers individuals to make decisions about their own care, including hiring support staff, managing budgets, and choosing services that best fit their unique needs and preferences.

These competencies ensure that individuals receive appropriate supports and resources, promoting independence and quality of life.

What are common challenges faced by professionals working in self-direction roles, and how can they be addressed?
