The Maryland Developmental Disabilities Administrations (DDA) aims to give those with developmental disabilities greater control over their lives by offering a self-direction model for the provision of support services. The recently announced solution is designed to help participants identify and access support services that best suits their needs.

Community Health and Education Services works in both Montgomery and Prince George’s County, and the new self-direction support services are now available to clients in those regions. The agency’s trained professionals assist clients with a variety of developmental disabilities, including cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and those on the autism spectrum.
“Our services are designed to help people with developmental disabilities thrive in their own setting,” a company representative explained. “For those who have chosen to self-direct, we offer registered and licensed nurses who can assist is several ways, including comprehensive assessments, developing a care plans, training your own staff, and more.”
As the Maryland DDA explains, the core goal of the self-direction model is to give participants greater choice and control over how services are provided, as well as who is being paid for those services. Under the program, support brokers are certified assistants who help participants and their family develop a Personal Centered Plan and Budget (PCP), while also providing ongoing coaching and mentoring after the PCP has been approved.
As part of the recent update, Community Health and Education Services offers registered nurses who have completed the mandatory DDA training programs required to become a support broker. The services can be tailored to individual needs, with visits at least every 45 days, or more frequently if required.
