Self-direction is a system of medical care for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) which gives them or their representative control over the services they receive and support they receive. As against traditional systems, self-direction uses a person-centered planning process and gives the decision-making authority to determine the type of support and services that work best for their needs. Self-Direction software gives such individuals control over the services they get and how they receive these services including who provides them.
