California’s Self-Determination Program (SDP) is an alternate way to receive services through the Regional Center, increasing a participant’s choice, control, and breadth of providers. SDP offers many benefits for individuals with specialized needs, though the ongoing coordination of services can feel overwhelming at times. To streamline, Poppy provides case management services for participants utilizing the Co-Employer model. This includes:

• Recruiting and building a team of well-matched employees and vendors 

• Coordinating community activities and developing comprehensive schedules that align with an individual’s goals, budget, and spending plan

• Reviewing monthly expenditure reports provided by Financial Management Services (FMS) agency 

• Collaborating with Independent Facilitator (IF) and Regional Center (RC) to amend budget or spending plan when needed 

• Providing ongoing coordination of services 

Poppy helps individuals maximize the benefits of SDP to access the highest quality services.
