A Guide to Employing Individual Providers Under Participant Direction

"In this monograph, we discuss program design considerations to assist states as they move toward greater individuality and flexibility in the provision of services and supports for individuals who have disabilities and/or significant functional limitations and require ongoing assistance. Specifically, the monograph outlines topics that states should consider as they expand opportunities for participants to choose and direct individual providers who provide assistance to them, including the risks and benefits of these arrangements, provider qualifications, training, person-centered planning, the role of the case manager, and safeguards to prevent abuse, neglect and exploitation."
