Consumer Directed Services (CDS) in Texas not only empower individuals with disabilities to take control of their care, but they also help foster a sense of community. By choosing their own caregivers and building personal care plans, individuals can stay in their own homes and engage with their communities rather than being placed in institutions. This community-centered approach allows for stronger social connections, as individuals maintain relationships with family, friends, and neighbors while receiving personalized care. CDS in Texas promotes inclusion, ensuring that disabled individuals have opportunities to participate in local activities and contribute to their neighborhoods. With the support of FMSA Texas, individuals can manage their services more effectively, leading to a higher quality of life and a stronger sense of belonging.
