Getting SDP Services Approved: Strategies That Work
February 12, 2026 at 12pm PST
Getting services approved through SDP doesn't have to be a guessing game.
You may already know what supports would make the biggest difference, but figuring out what's allowable and what the regional center and FMS need to know about them for approval can feel overwhelming. With the right guidance and a clear approach, the process can feel more manageable and predictable.
