What is Self-determination?
We believe in Self-determination and Self-direction. Self-determination is the process that assists individuals in exercising control over their own lives. There are five principles of self-determination. These principles are:
- 1. Freedom: Deciding how to live a productive life
- 2. Authority: Controlling a targeted amount of dollars
- 3. Support: Organizing personal and community resources in ways that are meaningful and life-enhancing
- 4. Responsibility: Budgeting and using funds wisely
- 5. Confirmation: Having a role in redesigning the service system
