STRATEGIES FOR THE FUTURE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
December 1, 2000
In recent years, people with developmental disabilities in Washington State and the people allied with them have been working to create a shift in how supports and services are offered. In 1997, Lyle Quasim, Secretary of the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), appointed the Strategies for the Future Stakeholder Workgroup (the Stakeholder Workgroup). Its primary mission was to build consensus among its members in order to advise the DSHS/Division of Developmental Disabilities (the division) on development of a strategic plan for the future of developmental disability services. Consensus was reached on the principle of individual choice and self-determination to guide future service delivery.
Current law directs the division, in conjunction with the Stakeholder Workgroup, to make recommendations to the legislature on how to best meet the needs of people with developmental disabilities and their families, today and in the future. DSHS will submit three reports to the legislature in December 1998, 2000 and 2002.
In December 1998, the division submitted Strategies for the Future Long-Range Plan Phase I Report to the Washington State Legislature. The report shared an estimate on unmet service needs, proposed a multi-biennial funding plan to meet these needs and outlined an approach for system restructuring based on an individual choice and self-determination service delivery philosophy.
The division is now, in December 2000, submitting the Strategies for the Future Long-Range Plan Phase II Report to the Legislature. This report is based on the contributions of over one hundred and twenty people who worked together in special topic workgroups with co-chairs from the Stakeholder Workgroup and the division. Recommendations from the topic workgroups went to the Stakeholder Workgroup for consideration, and those adopted were forwarded to the division, forming the backbone of this Phase II Report. While this report’s primary focus is on the activities of the division and the Stakeholder Workgroup for the next two or three years, the long range planning effort will continue to work out system restructuring issues, including statutory change recommendations, and to implement choice and self-determination statewide by June 30, 2007.
Washington’s focus on choice and self-determination comes as a result of years of committed work by hundreds of individuals with developmental disabilities, their families and friends, legislators, advocates, providers, and social service staff. A hallmark of this approach is the ability of people with developmental disabilities to make choices about their living conditions and supports. A primary tool in accomplishing this is individual control of service dollars, with each person or family having a budget that is portable. Portability allows the person to direct funds among options he or she chooses, and to make changes as desired-for example, choosing a different living or employment situation.
The Phase II Report recommends a two-part approach to developing individual budgets. A general allocation would be available to all eligible persons, with some variation for children three through twenty who are funded through the school system. A second specialized allocation may be added after an individualized assessment process for those people who find that their general allocation is insufficient to purchase needed services. The Stakeholders Workgroup did not recommend using an individual assessment process for all eligible persons since this process would be expensive to administer. In addition, the division estimates that approximately eighty percent of people currently served would have adequate dollars to meet their needs within the proposed general budget amount.
To prepare for implementing this flexible individual budget approach, two initiatives are presented in the Phase II Report. The first already underway and continuing into the 2001-2003 biennium, is to test and refine the assessment instrument. The second, proposed for the 2001-2003 biennium, is to pilot individual budgets and other choices and self-determination components. The pilot is proposed for one geographic area of the state. The purpose of the pilot is to test each component of a choice and self-determination system to determine what works best for people and their families.
After reaching consensus on using choice and self-determination as the direction that system improvements would follow, several other agreements have been reached on the particulars involved with the pursuit. However, the Stakeholder Workgroup has not yet reached consensus on two major issues: 1) how to use and/or re-deploy any “unneeded” residential habilitation center resources and: 2) the role of various government entities in implementing a choice and self-determination approach. These two unresolved issues, as well as a number of additional issues that the Stakeholder Workgroup is currently scheduling for discussion, will continue to be the focus of Stakeholder Workgroup and division activity for the next two years.
In summary, a self-determination approach will provide individuals and their families with more power to choose the services and supports that best suit their individual needs and to select the providers of these services and supports. A self-determination approach will also provide an effective and equitable method of budgeting and allocating resources to meet those needs.
MEMORANDUM
TO: Interested People
FROM: Stakeholder Workgroup
SUBJECT: ‘Addendum to Strategies for the Future’
Recently, the Division of Developmental Disabilities, with input from the Stakeholder Workgroup, submitted to the Legislature Phase II of a plan required by SB 6751 that outlines changing the current system. The Stakeholder Workgroup made the decision to develop an addendum that reflects pertinent information about ‘unmet needs” excluded from Phase II of the plan.
If you have recently received a report titled Strategies for the Future-Long Range Plan Report Phase II: 2001-2003, from the Division of Developmental Disabilities, please attach this addendum to it.
Thank you.
The Department of Social and Health Services Long-Range Plan Report, Phase 2: 2001-2003 and the Addendum from the Division of Developmental Disabilities is on file in the Office of the Secretary of the Senate.
