Individual & Family-Directed Support
Self-Determination | Empower
The Individual and Family Directed Supports Option encourages self-determination. Self-determination lets you select the services or supports that meet your needs. It is person-centered and person-directed. Individuals may direct some or all of the services that are provided through the NC Innovations Waiver.
You and your family have more control over the way your services are provided by directing them yourself. You, your family, or the legally responsible person direct services. You may decide to self-direct one or all of the eligible services you receive through the NC Innovations Waiver. There are two models for you to choose under this option:
Agency with Choice Model - You partner with the provider to supervise or manage support workers.
Employer of Record Model - You, your family, or the legally responsible person supervise or manage support workers.
