In a nation founded on the promise of securing "the blessing of liberty" for all, people with disabilities have found themselves often forced to exchange their personal freedoms for the services and support they need. Unwilling to accept that the need for support is incompatible with personal freedom, growing legions of individuals with disabilities, their families, advocates, public officials, and service providers have developed and promoted new ways of increasing the control that people with disabilities have over their own lives and futures. This issue of Impact focuses on various aspects of and experiences with supporting personal freedom through self-directed supports and individually managed budgets. It includes articles from policy, service, and individual/ family perspectives illustrating what is possible when self-determination guides service provision.
