Self-Determination Pilot Projects
Welcome to the Department of Developmental Services Self-Determination Home Page. This site provides general information about the California Self-Determination (SD) Pilot Projects.
The intent of self-determination is to facilitate consumer and family control of public funds such that they have the freedom to develop and purchase their own services.The SD pilots are designed to enhance the ability of consumers and/or their families to control the decisions and resources required to meet all or some of the objectives in their individual program plan. The SD pilots will explore methods of funding consumer services with various cost-effective, flexible service and support options. Consumer satisfaction will play an important role in evaluation of the SD pilots.
