Persons with mental health, developmental disabilities or Substance Abuse needs want the same opportunities everyone wants: not just to survive, but to thrive. They want to live in a safe, nurturing, environment where their special needs will be met. Choosing service to meet these needs can often be a difficult task. These guide books have been developed to assist with the process of selecting a provider and to help ensure that individuals, families and others are informed of their alternatives, opportunities and rights.

The selection of services is based on consumer/guardian choice. Individuals with disabilities want and expect to control their own lives. This includes having a direct say about the home, community services and supports they receive.

These guides are not intended as a referral guides, but as toolkits to assist individuals, families and guardians in gathering the information needed to make the best possible choice of a provider.
