Through SDP, families with loved ones who have intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) were able to have much more control over the spending of their public California funds to better suit their personalized needs and goals.  Families shared their firsthand experiences and valuable insights into the advantages and challenges of the SDP process, as well as how they decided to enter the program. Families discussed:  - SDP versus traditional – why they chose SDP - The application journey - Ongoing management - Pros and cons of the program for families and case managers This event was designed for families learning about the program, families looking for advice on managing SDP, and regional center case managers seeking best practices to better serve their clients. The hope was that this webinar would provide the knowledge and tools to help attendees make informed decisions for their loved ones or clients. Attendees were also encouraged to bring any questions to our open Q&A at the end.
