on the BHDDH website is there a “glossary” that defines the terms such as SELF DIRECTED SERVICES…PHYSICAL INTERMEDIARY (?) …AGENCY BASED…I need Adult Transition 101 :-)

Hi LeighAnn! This website is great start to get some information: https://w3.ric.edu/sherlockcenter/sds/sds.html. Clare Rosenbaum from Sherlock Center is a great resource and is always happy to answer questions about Self-Directed Supports and Services.

Thank you both! Lots of new lingo…

Just when you think you have mastered the lingo in education, right?

Yup!🙃

Leighann: I highly suggest watching these webinars from RIPIN.

Great!

it is "A LOT" many acronyms we sometimes forget them too. Fiscal Intermediary is what is considered as self-direct agency.
