Self-directing services will require more responsibility and expectations from the individual and their support network. Successful self-direction builds on natural support networks through contributions from communities, friends, and family members.
What does ORI offer?
Agency with Choice: With this option, ORI is the legal employer and is responsible for the hiring and onboarding of your chosen staff member(s), State required training, and service documentation requirements. Those individuals who enroll in self-directed services often felt increased control over service delivery. Individuals still have a Case Manager to help monitor ongoing service delivery and individual budgets.
What does Self-Direction mean for me and my family?
