Waiver, Law, Directives
SDP Waiver Law: The Self-Determination Program (SDP) is part of a federal rule called the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver. This rule lets people get services at home or in their community instead of living in a facility. DDS Directives: Directives are rules from the Department of Developmental Services (DDS). They explain how the SDP works and what steps everyone must follow.
