Signing your IPP: Your services cannot start until you and the regional center agree on what is in your IPP. When you sign your IPP, you are saying that you agree with what is in your IPP. If you don’t agree with everything that is in your IPP, you don’t have to sign it. BUT, you can agree to part of it. Write down what you agree with and what you don’t agree with. Once you do this, the services you and the regional center agreed on can start. Tip 1. Make sure you get a copy of your IPP. The regional center can send copies of your IPP to people who came to your meeting, if you want them to have a copy. 2. Go over your IPP with people who care about you. Make sure it has what you wanted in it. 3. If it’s in your IPP, the regional center must get the services or supports for you. 32
After your IPP Meeting It is your service coordinator’s job to find and get the services and supports written on your IPP. You can call another meeting if: • You don’t get the services written on your IPP • You don’t like the services you get • Your needs change Tip 1. You and your service coordinator will be partners in making sure that the goals and objectives in your IPP happen. Get to know your service coordinator. If your service coordinator is not helping you make your IPP happen, the law says you can ask for another service coordinator. 2. See the back of this book for the names of some very good guides to the IPP meeting that have more information about the IPP. 33
