Executive Summary: Self Directed Services Pilot Program Evaluation

2011

Angela Harnden

Oklahoma's Self-Directed Care Act delineates requirements and responsibilities for self-directed care in Oklahoma. The Act requires that self-directed care pilot programs for the citizens of the state who have disabilities shall be based on the principles of consumer choice and control (SB 1015 Section 4.A.1). Legislative intent to achieve consumer self-direction was specified in Oklahoma's Self-Directed Care Act by the following statement: "The Legislature finds that it recognizes the need to nurture the autonomy of citizens of this state who have disabilities by providing home- and community-based care services in the least restrictive and most appropriate setting possible. The Legislature hereby intends to provide such individuals with more choices in and greater control over the purchase of the home- and community-based care services they receive."
