Ask yourself the following questions: Would you like to have more authority to plan your supports based on the lifestyle you choose? Do you want to be more involved in your community and in those activities that interest you? Would you like to hire the staff of your choice and have more say in how your budgeted dollars are spent? If you are saying “yes” to any of these questions, then the Division of Developmental Disabilities in Missouri has a Self-Directed Service option for you.
