Dedication
We would like to dedicate this manual to the individuals who have committed themselves to making self-directed supports and services possible for all people with intellectual disabilities in Connecticut. Through creative examples, the early pioneers of self-determination showed us how people with intellectual disabilities could make their lives better by assuming greater control and responsibility for their individual budgets and by self-directing their support services. We appreciate their efforts. We are pleased to offer Understanding the Connecticut DDS Home and Community Based Services Waivers: An Introduction to Your Hiring Choices to the people served by the CT Department of Developmental Services. We hope that this guide will help many more individuals with intellectual disabilities to experience the pride, accomplishment, and growth that can occur through the provision of self-directed services.
