To be eligible for regional center services, the regional center needs to do an assessment and determine eligibility. The best way to get started is to contact your local regional center.

Rubi Saldana
38:49
Why, if Self-Directed services is an option, do some Regional Centers act as if it were a privilege? not all regional centers are giving this flexibility ...
Caroline Castaneda
39:31
Aquí están los enlaces con la presentación en español: https://www.dds .ca.gov / wp-content / uploads / 2020/11 / Self-Advocate-Family-Meeting_presentation_Spanish_11102020.pdf y en ingles: https://www.dds.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Self-Advocate-Family-Meeting_presentation_11102020.pdf

40:09
How can we help all regional centers make the same interpretation of Self-Directed Services?
Catherine Blakemore
40:45
DDS reently provided participant directed services training for regional centers. This should help make sure that families and regional centers have similar information about participant directed services.
Carla Lehmann
42:02
Question: when is DDS going to do another selection for the self determination program before June 2021? There are many interested people in the waiting list that would like to get in the SDP now!
Mark Pacis
42:03
For the tagalog listeners, is anyone not hearing me
Gricelda Estrada
42:13
Como puede llegar esta informacion a las familias de Servicios dirijidos por el participante?
Sarah Macy
42:14
Could a consumer maintain their service through their current vendor and add the same service through self-directed if the two programs offer different types of service during the pandemic ie: remote vs. in-person?
Maricris Acon
42:25
Tammi, yes when the respite agency serves as the FMS, this is sometimes called employer of record.
Tania Delgado
43:46
can you provide a list or where can I find a list of all the the services regional centers manage?
Caroline Castaneda
44:13
From Gricelda Estrada to Everyone: 06:07 PMHow can this information about Participant Directed Services reach families?
Rubi Saldana
44:24
Can you also provide training for the agency or vendor.. they usually slow the process! They follow very strict policies of their own..creating barriers during Covid 19 for all those who needed help.
Tammi Bradley
44:58
Is PDS temporary? Only through COVID?
Sarah Macy
45:42
Could a consumer who receives ILS add PDS such as ILS?
Maricris Acon
47:50
Five services are permanently available as PDS: Day Care, Nursing Service, Respite, Transportation, Community Based Training. Three services are added temporarily due to covid: ILS, Personal Assistance, Supported Employment Services
Alexander Bland
48:24
Why non-medical transportation?
Eileen Roseman
48:39
is IHSS apart of this?
Maricris Acon
49:17
Yes, IHSS is not part of this. It is not a regional center service.
Caroline Castaneda
49:20

50:28
thank you
JANETTA MARSHALL
50:43

Participant directed services is funded through the regional center. The staff you hire will be paid by your financial management services provider and they will be reimbursed by the regional center
Carla Lehmann
50:52
Is the rate the same or higher if not vendored and through an FMS?
Mary Jo

Caroline Castaneda
51:20
The Department of Social Services is the state-level agency for IHSS
Carol Taylor
51:29
what if they do not have workers like we are often presented with
Catherine Blakemore
51:53
the best way to learn about rates is to ask your regional center. the rates are established for each of the participant directed services.
Robert levy
52:56
How about other agencies for Developmental Disabilities and Intellectual disabitiies?
Catherine Blakemore
53:19
If you are having difficulty identifying IHSS workers you might want to speak with your county's Public Authority and some Independent Living Centers may also help identify IHSS providers
Robert levy
53:24
To serve them.
Judith Jackson
53:33
for the Supported Employment services, do you mean the job coaches, or the job developers?
Georgina Leon
53:54
podrían poner los 8 servicios por favor
Robert levy
54:01
Being PEC/CES being a vending service of Alta Regional Center.
Rubi Saldana
54:21
Perhaps the best thing would be to invite the Regional Centers, vendors and the community to the same training ... the community is confused because the centers interpret one way, the vendors another and in the middle we are the families trying to survive !!
Sara Nisenholtz
54:21
can the parent who can work due to school closures to supervise child use the respite to pay herself?
Caroline Castaneda
54:30
Cinco servicios están disponibles permanentemente como PDS: Guardería, Servicio de enfermería, Relevo, Transporte, Capacitación basada en la comunidad. Se agregan tres servicios temporariamente debido a covid: ILS, asistencia personal, servicios de empleo apoyado
Robert levy
54:48
I work in supported Employment.
Catherine Blakemore
54:53
Regarding the definition of participant directed services, if you look on the DDS website under COVID, FAQ, you will find information about participant directed services including at the end a definition of each service type
Sara Nisenholtz
55:02
I meant can the parent who can’t work due to school closures to supervise child use the respite to pay herself?
Karen Mulvany
55:05
Does the inability to exceed the hourly wage mean that there can be no overtime in the PDS program?
Carol
55:44
que es ILS?
Robert levy
55:52
Being Ingrated Competitive supported Employmen.
Mari Ahumada
55:56
can we find the rates @ DDS website?
Lourdes Gomez
56:17
Is there a way you can pre approve the person center plan for those of us who want to jump into it for next year? If you do everyone it would be difficult for the few people who have gain experience on the pilot.
Tammi Bradley
56:48
What is the FMS service code?
Cendy Topete
56:55
community base service is the same as Integration in the community or different services?
Caroline Castaneda
57:47
ILS son los Servicios de vida independiente o Independent Living Services en ingles
Maricris Acon
57:48
Sara, As respite is meant to be a break for the parents, the respite provider cannot be the parent
teresa ayala
57:57
por que el centro regional esta pagando menos que 16.25 la hora al proveedor delk servicios?
Gricelda Estrada
58:24
Mi Centro Regional tiene muchos problemas siguiendo las Directivas, como que no las estan entendiendo?
Dora Contreras
58:27
My Grandson requires 24/7 supervision. It has been difficult to find the number of individuals needed to meet his needs. Keeping workers and supervising them has been very stressful for me. That being said, I am glad I can choose the workers; but the stress comes in when I have to do the day to day supervision of the workers (ie absences, conflicts punctuality, etc.)

Summary FAQs for Self-Advocates and Families About Participant-Directed Services During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Marty Omoto
59:50
There's needs to be a webpage on Participant Directed Services - in addition to FAQ and the directive (the directive doesn't help a person who doesn't know much about it) Also, as I mentioned on Saturday, DDS should do one or more symposiums or townhalls featuring people who use Participant Directed Services - similar to the symposiums on Alternative Services that have been very good.

Robin Robert
01:00:23
Is this ONLY for the duration OF Covid? Or, do you anticipate it extending further into the future?
Kristin Belshe
01:00:27
All I want to know at this point is what are the governments guidelines to reopen non residential Day Programs for adults with developmental disabilities??? There is ZERO information on this on DDS website, Regional Centers don’t know, Day Programs have no idea…the government has detailed guidelines to get your dog groomed but NOTHING for this demographic?? Extremely frustrating.
Carla Lehmann
01:00:37
Could a parent of an adult living in the same household provide the PA service or ILS?
Marty Omoto
01:00:43
One question some people have - what are the services I can get from Participant Directed that a person cannot get using the traditional system of services
