The Department of Developmemtal Services is pleased to announce that the initial 2,500 participants for the Self-Determination Program have been selected. The Department will mail notification letters to all individuals to communicate their selection status. To find out if you were selected to participate, you may enter your UCI (Unique Client Identifier) number at www.dds.ca.gov/SDPverification/index.cfm.

Those who were not selected initially to participate will remain on the list for subsequent selections if some of the initial 2,500 choose not to enroll or discontinue in the program. The Department will continue to collect and add names of those interested in the program for subsequent selections.

We have been advised that the Department of Developmental Services will begin sharing Orientation materials with Regional Centers as soon as they are finalized, this fall, and that Orientations for participants will be announced shortly thereafter.
