PDS Unscripted 

🔥Got PDS Questions? Get the answers you need! 🔥

PDS Unscripted is a training for self-direction professionals that  breaks down the WHO-WHAT-WHEN-WHERE-WHYs of Participant-Directed Services (PDS), also known as self-direction!

Are you asking yourself, "How am I supposed to explain PDS to my clients when I barely understand it myself?"  

Ever wondered:

❓ "Why do we have to offer PDS?"


❓"What the heck am I supposed to do?"


❓"Do I just sit here while they do everything themselves?"


❓"If they pick their own staff, how will I know if they picked the right ones?"


❓"My client can't find staff, what should we do?"


These questions might seem basic, but they’re totally valid—and honestly, kinda funny when you think about it! 

Case Managers are a foundational part of PDS system but you haven't been formally educated by the state on tangible support practices.

Here’s what you need to know... 

Having question about PDS doen't mean...

✅ You’re not a competent case manager

✅ PDS is too hard or that participants have to be equally confused 

BUT it does mean: 


⚠️Kentucky is falling behind on providing quality education to case managers. 

 ⚠️ The self-direction system in Kentucky isn’t giving enough hands-on support to participants. 

 ⚠️The guidance you’re getting might be unclear, vague, or duplicative. 

It's time to change the narrative about PDS! 

Discover WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY, and HOW of PDS!

 Don’t miss out on this opportunity to get the clarity you need.
