Many issues surround self-directed care, and individuals who need habilitation services have brought those issues to the fore in recent years. The Visiting Nurse Association of Texas participates in a program with the state of Texas that allows individuals with disabilities to direct their own care while it also ensures that safety measures are addressed. The program is a success on many fronts.
