Self-Directed Supports with Independent Support Services

Description

Evaluated a New York approach to self-directed supports and analyzed national trends in self-directed supports. The project examined how families navigate a self-directed approach when the primary caregiver can no longer provide support to the self-directed process. Collaborating with community partner Independent Support Services, Inc., the project collected data that integrated the views of key stakeholders, including individuals who self-direct, their families, and administrators/staff working in the field of self-direction.
