Becoming a provider requires multiple steps that we cover at the Parent-Directed Supported Living Training workshops.

 

Things to consider:

  • You are on call 24/7 but aren't you anyway?

  • A corporation of some sort will need to be established.

  • You will not be able to be a non-profit agency if you begin your agency only for your child.

  • You will need to have start-up funds.

  • A comprehensive service design needs to be written and approved by the regional center from which your child receives services.

  • Once all requirements are met, you may become a vendorized agency. http://www.dds.ca.gov/Rates/Vendor_FAQ.cfm

  • Identify the necessities of starting up. 

  • Sharing of multiple documents and ideas that lessen the demand for startups.

  • Come to your California location to do this training in your area.

The Learning Community envisions a world where all people have positive control over the lives they have chosen for themselves. Our efforts focus on people who have lost or may lose positive control because of society’s response to the presence of a disability or other conditions. This site helps us foster a global learning community that shares knowledge for that purpose. All are welcome here to share and learn.
