  What is Real Life Choices?  
 
 
 

In 2002, the Governor released a systems change plan called New and Expanded Options for New Jersey Consumers with Developmental Disabilities and Their Families.

As a major part of this systems change, DDD developed Real Life Choices as an innovative method for individuals and their families to access truly personalized and self-directed services.

Real Life Choices provides equity in the services and supports offered by DDD; it also assures that all participants apply for the Community Care Waiver (CCW).

DDD used the quality framework from the Center for Medicaid Services (CMS) when developing Real Life Choices. Elements of it include:

  • The use of a Fiscal Agent to provide financial assistance and accountability for public funds.

  • Allocation of individual budgets based on a personalized review of support needs.
