Individualized Funding for Disabilities

Individualized Funding for Disabilities is a system that gives people with disabilities control over funds allocated for their care and services. Instead of receiving services directly from agencies, they receive a personalized budget they can manage themselves. This approach empowers individuals to choose the supports and providers that best meet their needs, fostering independence and tailored care. It promotes autonomy by putting decision-making into the hands of those it affects most, encouraging flexibility and community integration while maintaining oversight to ensure proper use of funds.
