California Self-Determination Program

Five things SDP gives you. We will help you to make the most of it.

AavionD is your Independent Facilitator. Every promise below is a right under California's Self-Determination Program. Our job is to make sure none of them stay on paper.

01
Freedom
Your goals. Your life. Your plan.
We help you define what truly matters — your plan reflects your vision, not a system limit.
02
Authority
Your budget, used your way.
We help you build a spending plan that aligns with your needs while staying compliant.
03
Support
Your providers. Your team.
We help search for available providers, and you choose who’s the right fit.
04
Responsibility
Compliant. Sustainable. Yours to lead.
We guide you through best practices so your plan stays aligned with program requirements.
05
Confirmation
Evaluate. Adjust. Improve.
We help you track what's working, advocate for changes, and keep improving services.

How AavionD Helps Your Family

As your Independent Facilitator, we guide you through the entire process — from understanding your options to building and managing your child's plan.

Person-Centered Plan (PCP)

The PCP is the foundation of all services. We build a plan that truly reflects your child's goals, preferences, and vision for the future.

  • Needs assessment & goal identification
  • Collaborative plan development sessions
  • Documentation & Regional Center submission
  • Meeting preparation & advocacy

SDP Transition Support

The Self-Determination Program gives families greater control over services and budgets. We guide you through every phase.

  • SDP eligibility & orientation
  • Individual budget development
  • FMS coordination
  • Spending plan creation & management

Provider Coordination

Finding the right service providers can be overwhelming. We handle the research, outreach, and logistics for your family.

  • Provider research & vetting
  • Service scheduling & logistics
  • Quality monitoring & communication
  • Transition support when changing providers

Post SDP Support

Life changes and plans need to adapt. Our ongoing support keeps a knowledgeable advocate in your corner to help navigate what comes next.

  • Regular plan reviews & progress checks
  • IPP & Regional Center meeting advocacy
  • Plan modifications as needs change
  • Ongoing family education & resources

How Our Services Are Funded

Independent Facilitation to help your family transition into the Self-Determination Program is funded by the Regional Center. Once enrolled in SDP, most families have everything they need to manage independently. For those who want continued support, our services can be included in your spending plan as a participant-directed service.
