Our Offerings
The NRCPDS has a team of subject matter experts ready to help you develop and improve your participant-directed programs. We offer an array of services—including program consulting, membership benefits, training, and research.
- Individual Consulting - Our team of subject matter experts are available to help you design programs, evaluate existing programs, and recommend improvements in all aspects of operationalizing self-direction, including the areas of policy development, quality management, financial management services, participant involvement, data management and information systems, and more.
- Membership Programs - Individuals and organizations will have the opportunity to gain membership status to receive access to a wide range of critical information resources, and the latest developments pertaining to self-direction. Members will be able to interact with peers, troubleshoot problems, and improve operations.
- Training - We currently offer training modules for support services, additional training modules are in development.
- Research - Our research focuses on promising practices and the impact of participant-directed programs.
- Public Policy - To ensure the growth of self-direction opportunities across the country, public policy that directly or indirectly impacts the expansion of self-direction must be informed by existing research, knowledge, and practice. We have created comprehensive strategies to ensure public policy is informed by lessons learned and a well-established stakeholder involvement process.
- National Participant Network - Recognizing the important voice those who receive self-directed supports play in the design of our models, NRCPDS has developed the National Participant Network (NPN). The NPN plays a critical role in developing participant involvement strategies in self-directed models at the local level while also providing essential input into NRCPDS’s design of tools and products. This ensures that all of our work is ultimately by the needs of those for which self-directed supports are intended.
