Frequently Asked Questions.

What is the Self-Determination Program (SDP)?2025-07-14T14:19:01-07:00

The Self-Determination Program (SDP) is a way for you to have more control over your services and support. Instead of being assigned providers, you get to:

  • Choose who supports you

  • Build a plan based on your goals

  • Decide how your Regional Center budget is used

At Adaptive SDP, we help guide families through this process and create customized supports that work for them.

🔗 Learn more at the California DDS SDP Website

Who qualifies for the SDP?2025-07-14T14:24:45-07:00

You may be eligible for SDP if:

  • You are a current client of a California Regional Center

  • You attend a required orientation

  • Your team completes the enrollment steps

Need help figuring out where to start? We can help.

🔗 Find your Regional Center’s SDP page
📩 Or contact us directly

What services does Adaptive SDP offer under the SDP?2025-07-14T14:26:39-07:00

  • Community-based outings and integration (CIS)

How do I begin services with Adaptive SDP?2025-07-14T14:44:12-07:00

Here’s how it works:

  • Fill out our Interest Form

  • We’ll reach out to learn more about your needs

  • We’ll explain the next steps and begin the intake process

  • We’ll help you build a personalized care plan

Whether you’re new to SDP or already enrolled, we’ll guide you through every step.

Do I lose my current services if I join?2025-07-14T14:33:31-07:00

No, you don’t lose anything automatically. Many families:

  • Keep current services during the transition

  • Replace or add new supports as needed

  • Take it one step at a time

We’ll help you understand how the transition works and what makes sense for your situation.

Do I need an Independent Facilitator (IF) to work with Adaptive SDP?2025-07-14T14:34:50-07:00

No, you can start with us even if you don’t have an IF yet.

If you already have one:

  • We’ll collaborate with them

  • We’ll stay in communication as your services begin

If you don’t have one:

💡 IFs help guide the planning and budget setup during your transition into SDP.

How long does it take to get started?2025-07-14T14:38:11-07:00

It depends on where you are in the process:

  • If you’re not yet in SDP, it may take a few weeks while your plan and budget are approved.

  • If you’re already approved, we can usually begin onboarding in just a few days.

We’ll guide you through:

  • Intake and planning

  • Starting services based on your schedule

🔗 Fill out our Interest Form to begin

Where does Adaptive SDP provide services?2025-07-14T14:59:21-07:00

We currently serve families across several Regional Centers in California, including:

  • ELARC

  • Lanterman

  • Harbor

  • Inland

  • North LA County

  • Orange County

  • San Gabriel/Pomona

  • South Central LA

If you’re not sure which Regional Center you’re part of, we can help you find out.

What ages does Adaptive SDP work with?2025-07-14T15:02:08-07:00

We support individuals of all ages — from children to teens to adults. We tailor our services based on:

  • Age

  • Developmental stage

  • Personal goals and learning style

We’ll work with you to make sure the services we offer are appropriate and meaningful for your loved one’s needs.

Can Adaptive SDP support nonverbal individuals or those with higher support needs?2025-07-14T15:05:21-07:00

Yes — we have experience supporting individuals with a wide range of needs, including:

  • Nonverbal communication

  • Mobility challenges

  • Behavioral supports

  • Complex care or medical concerns (in collaboration with families)

We’ll work with you to build a team and plan that’s safe, respectful, and empowering.

Can you give an example of how you support a participant?2025-07-14T15:06:22-07:00

Absolutely. Here’s a sample scenario:

Owen is a 21-year-old who recently exited school services. He’s nonverbal, has mobility challenges, and needs help with daily routines. His family is focused on building independence and community engagement. We provide in-home life skills training (like meal prep and hygiene routines), adaptive fitness, and weekly community outings to local libraries, parks, and stores. Our staff use gestures and visual supports to help Owen communicate and build consistency.

Every plan is different — but just like Owen, we’ll build services around what matters most to him.

Can we choose what services we want from Adaptive SDP?2025-07-14T15:09:33-07:00

Yes! One of the best parts of the Self-Determination Program is the flexibility to choose what works for you. We’ll:

  • Review your goals during intake

  • Help match you with the right support team

  • Create a plan that can grow and evolve over time

You’re in control — we’re here to help make it happen.

How is SDP different from traditional services?2025-07-14T15:16:59-07:00

Great question! While both options provide support through your Regional Center, there are some key differences in how services are chosen and managed.

Here’s a simple comparison:

Traditional Services (Standard Regional Center Option):

  • Providers are assigned from a pre-approved (vendored) list

  • The Regional Center leads your planning meetings and makes most service decisions

  • You follow a set list of services and guidelines

  • The budget is managed by the Regional Center

  • You have less flexibility to create custom supports

Self-Determination Program (SDP):

  • You choose your providers — including people not vendored with the Regional Center

  • You create a Person-Centered Plan (PCP) based on your life goals

  • Services are more flexible and tailored to what you truly want

  • You control how your budget is used (with the help of an FMS)

  • You and your team make the decisions — not the Regional Center
