Department of Developmental Services Consumer Advisory Committee
Vision Statement: “People with developmental disabilities in California will live their life the way they want”
The DDS Consumer Advisory Committee started in 1992 by the Director to give consumers a voice about how they receive services.
The CAC created Making My Own Choices and the Sticker Book to help people have a choice in their life.
They said … A life without choice means someone else makes decisions about how you spend your time, like you do and when you do it. Each person has the right to make decisions and have choices.
…Learning to make your own choices can be hard if you have not been in charge before. Sometimes when people begin to make choices, staff and family do not listen because they are not comfortable with us making our own choices.
MAKING MY OWN CHOICES

FID O
The interview team will spend time with every resident to find out:
