Participant-Directed Services

Before you start

  • Goals, preferences, assessed needs, routines, communication and health supports, risks and backup plans, delivery-model choice, service candidates, and unresolved gaps.

Who to contact

Use the official destination above, the county-linked ADRC or CMHC, the case manager, the operating agency, or the exact contact on the controlling notice.

Step by step

  1. Prepare goals, non-negotiables, risks, and questions before the meeting.
  2. Review every proposed service, amount, frequency, provider, safeguard, and owner.
  3. Obtain the completed plan and separately confirm authorization and implementation.

Expected next

A completed plan, revision request, authorization event, provider action, or documented implementation step.

Save this proof

Drafts, meeting notes, final plan, authorizations, provider choices, revisions, and contacts.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the case manager to identify the missing plan element and the notice-specific route for an adverse decision.

Limits

A person-centered plan does not itself prove authorization, provider acceptance, staffing, or service start.

Beyond Childhood’s checklists and prompts are planning aids derived from official sources. They are not official forms, legal advice, eligibility decisions, or guarantees of funding, capacity, quality, or service.
