Motivational speaker Onkar Biring found hiring his own employees through individualized funding gave him more flexibility to plan his day. Now he’s the boss, hiring and, if necessary, letting go support workers, while getting better and more personalized assistance. The administration is “not as big a deal as (people) think,” he says, because he hands over the financial tasks to an accountant. Hear more about Onkar’s experiences with individualized funding in the video below from InCommon.TV:

As an alternative to existing residential, community inclusion or employment programs offered by service providers, it allows you a say in planning and directing your own services.
