163 Preston Way, Falls Creek, PA 15840
Based upon the principles of self-determination, Participant-Directed Services (PDS) offer an alternative to how supports are traditionally provided in the MR system. You and your family member(s) gain more control over services and supports when you are directly involved in hiring and managing your support people. In this session we describe the models of support and services available through the MR system for people who choose to self-direct. We cover both models of Financial Management Services - Agency With Choice and Vendor Fiscal/Employer Agent. We also outline the rights and responsibilities involved in Participant-Direction.

In this training, we cover different types of trusts that can be used to meet the needs of a person with a long term disability. Estate planning helps ensure a person has financial resources to meet his/her needs beyond the capacity of her/his guardian or parent to provide care, or after the death of the guardian or parent. We discuss how resources can be arranged to protect an individual's access to his/her needed government benefits.
