Welcome to the introduction of the Self-Determination Program. This program empowers individuals with developmental disabilities to have more control over their services and supports. As a Direct Support Professional, you will play a vital role in helping clients achieve their goals and live more independently. This onboarding will guide you through the process of supporting new clients in the Self-Determination Program. The Self-Determination Program is built on five key principles that empower individuals with developmental disabilities. These principles are: Freedom to plan a meaningful life with friends, family, and community support. Authority over a targeted budget for services and supports. Support through resources and people to build a life in the community. Responsibility for wise decisions about one's life and public dollars. And Confirmation of the important role individuals play in their community. As a Direct Support Professional, you'll help clients implement these principles in their daily lives. Let's walk through the onboarding process for new clients in the Self-Determination Program. First, we begin with an initial assessment to understand the client's needs, preferences, and goals. Next, we conduct a person-centered planning meeting where the client and their support network develop a vision for their future. Third, we develop an individual budget based on the client's needs and goals. Fourth, the client selects service providers like you to help implement their plan. Fifth, we implement the support plan with the client taking the lead in directing their services. Finally, we engage in ongoing monitoring and make adjustments as needed to ensure the client's needs are being met effectively. As a Direct Support Professional, you'll be most involved in steps four through six of this process. As a Direct Support Professional in the Self-Determination Program, you play a crucial role in helping clients achieve their goals. Your responsibilities include implementing person-centered support plans that reflect the client's preferences and choices. You'll promote client independence by encouraging them to make their own decisions while providing necessary support. You'll assist with daily living activities based on the client's needs, which may include personal care, meal preparation, or medication management. You'll support community integration by helping clients access resources, build relationships, and participate in activities they enjoy. You'll document progress and challenges to track the client's development and identify areas for improvement. And you'll communicate regularly with the client's support team, including family members, service coordinators, and other providers. Remember, in the Self-Determination Program, the client is at the center of all decisions, and your role is to support their vision for their life. Let's summarize what we've covered about the Self-Determination Program and your role as a Direct Support Professional. The Self-Determination Program empowers clients with developmental disabilities to have more control over their services and supports. The program is guided by five key principles: Freedom, Authority, Support, Responsibility, and Confirmation. The onboarding process for new clients involves assessment, person-centered planning, budgeting, provider selection, implementation, and ongoing monitoring. As a Direct Support Professional, your role is to support client independence while helping implement their person-centered plan. Success in this program is measured by the client's progress toward their self-defined goals and increased independence. Remember, in the Self-Determination Program, the client is the decision-maker, and your job is to provide the support they need to achieve their vision for their life. Thank you for your commitment to supporting individuals with developmental disabilities in living self-determined lives.
