Promoting Self-Direction and Consumer Control in Home and Community Based Service Systems
01/04/2006 | Requests *Summary
The third paper in the series examines what contemporary social service systems can do to promote consumer-directed services. We identify different features that make a service "self-directed," and we identify characteristics of successful consumer direction and self-determination. In its present form, this paper serves as foundation work for additional dialogue and will also undergo continuing development in discussions with representatives of projects and consumer leaders in states.
