- ISP and authorization state, service group and hours when applicable, desired setting and control, provider or worker candidates, schedule, backup coverage, transportation, accessibility, communication, health and behavior supports, and safeguards.
Who to contact
Start with the local Community Developmental Disabilities Program. After eligibility, use the chosen CDDP services coordinator or Support Services Brokerage personal agent. For an adverse action, use the exact notice and the current complaint or hearing route.
Step by step
- Ask the services coordinator or personal agent which delivery models are allowed for each planned service.
- Compare who recruits, employs, schedules, supervises, pays, monitors, and supplies backup support.
- Document the choice and every referral, qualification, onboarding, authorization, and readiness step.
Expected next
A documented model choice, referral, worker enrollment, provider response, residential screening, or written constraint.
Save this proof
