Creative Services in SDP: Thinking Outside the Box

Individuals and families in the Self-Determination Program know that supports don’t have to look “traditional” to be effective.

But how do you turn a creative idea into a service that Regional Centers and FMS providers will understand and happily approve?

Join us for a practical, inspiring session that highlights real examples of innovative services and offers strategies to make them stick.

What You’ll Learn

• Innovative supports in action: from adaptive recreation and tech tools to community mentors and beyond

• Making creativity sustainable: how to align unique services with your goals and budget for long-term success

• Blending resources: combining vendors, staff, and community supports for a holistic approach

• Building your case: tips for presenting outside-the-box ideas effectively to your FMS or Regional Center

Why Attend

This session goes beyond “interesting” ideas — you’ll leave with clear strategies and examples to help individuals and families move from creative concepts to impactful, approved supports.
