Real Stories: Hear from Families How an Independent Facilitator Provides Support in SDP

Self-Determination is amazing — but it’s also a lot to manage. 

In this webinar, you’ll hear from different self-advocates and families with unique experiences in SDP, and how having an Independent Facilitator (IF) made a real difference for each of them.

We’ll cover stories like:

• What makes a good IF according to families and self-advocates
• A family navigating complex budget updates without stress
• A parent managing provider changes while keeping services uninterrupted
• Families planning for long-term support and peace of mind – and navigating the renewals

Who should attend:

• Families currently in the Self-Determination Program
• Parents considering whether to work with an IF
• Self-advocates curious about the role IFs play in making SDP more manageable

These are real experiences, real tips, and lessons learned — showing how an IF can help make SDP smoother, more manageable, and more effective for every self-advocate and family’s unique journey.
