You're Not Alone in SDP: How an Independent Facilitator Can Help

The Self-Determination Program (SDP) gives individuals and families real control over their supports. But navigating the program isn't always straightforward.

There are meetings to prepare for, decisions to make, and moments where it's hard to know what to do next, all while wanting to make sure you're making the most of the program for you or your loved one. This webinar will help you understand what good support looks like in SDP, and how it can shape your experience in the program.

Our presenter, Sydney Seel, spent four years as a Service Coordinator at a Regional Center before becoming an Independent Facilitator at NeuroNav, so she understands both how the system works and what people in SDP experience.

What You'll Learn

• What an IF actually does
• How to think about IF support as an ongoing relationship
• How to get the most out of working with an IF (what to share, what to ask for, and how to stay engaged)
• How to know if working with an IF might be the right fit for you

Who Should Attend

This webinar is for anyone in California's Self-Determination Program, or exploring whether SDP is the right fit. It's especially useful if you want to better understand what working with an Independent Facilitator looks like.

Whether you're already working with an IF, navigating SDP on your own, or just starting to explore your options, this session will help you understand what kind of support is available and what it actually looks like in practice.
