The details that matter
A service coordinator can help connect IPP goals with appropriate services and explain authorization steps.
Regional Center-funded Independent Living Services may begin only after required approvals and written service authorization.
Requirements can change, so important decisions should be checked directly with the Regional Center or DDS.
Practical guidance

Ask your service coordinator about the consumer’s IPP goals and available supports.
Check whether a proposed Independent Living Service is appropriate and whether a provider is approved for it.
Regional Center-funded services may begin only after the required approvals and written authorization.
