WayPoint Support Services helps individuals and families understand, plan, and navigate the Self-Determination Program (SDP).
Through Independent Facilitation and person-centered support, we help turn your goals into an actionable plan—while keeping you at the center of every decision.
California’s Self-Determination Program gives participants greater choice, flexibility, and control over the services and supports they receive.
But greater choice can also mean more decisions, more coordination, and a process that can sometimes feel complicated.
That’s where WayPoint comes in. We help participants and families understand their options, prepare for important decisions, and navigate the people, processes, and paperwork involved in building a person-centered SDP plan.
You set the destination. We help you navigate the path.
There is no single “right” Self-Determination plan. Every participant has different goals, abilities, relationships, interests, support needs, and ideas about what a meaningful life looks like.
That’s why our work begins with the person—not the paperwork. We listen first. We help identify what matters. Then we work alongside the participant and their support team to translate those priorities into practical next steps.
Person-Centered: The participant’s goals, preferences, strengths, and choices guide the process.
Practical: We help turn ideas into actionable plans, budgets, services, and next steps.
Collaborative: We work with participants, families, Regional Centers, Financial Management Services, providers, and other members of the participant’s chosen team.
Independent: Our role is to help participants understand their options and make informed choices—not to make those choices for them.
You don’t have to navigate SDP alone. An Independent Facilitator can help you prepare for meetings, identify goals and support needs, understand your options, develop and manage your spending plan, coordinate with your Regional Center and Financial Management Service, and keep your plan aligned with the life you want to build.
WayPoint provides support both before entering SDP and throughout your participation in the program.
