Frequently asked questions

Answers to common SDP questions

What is an Independent Facilitator?

An Independent Facilitator guides you through the Self-Determination Program (SDP), helps create a Person-Centered Plan (PCP), and advocates for your choices.

Do I have to be in SDP already?

No. I help families explore whether SDP fits, prepare for enrollment, and stay organized after joining.

Can you attend Regional Center meetings?

Yes. I can prepare agendas, attend, and keep the discussion person-centered and clear.

What happens in a Person-Centered Plan meeting?

We map strengths, preferences, goals, and needed supports, then outline clear next steps for your spending plan.

Do you work virtually?

Yes. I serve Northern California families virtually and meet in-person when helpful.
