There is no cost to the individual and family or decrease in services by choosing a private support coordinator, who are contracted to coordinate the delivery of supports to persons receiving services, monitor the health and safety of those persons and report to Utah DHS/DSPD.

All companies who offer Support Coordination services have agreed to follow procedure, in thier contract with the State of Utah to allow individuals to chose and or change Support Coordinators anytime;

Here are a few ways to select a Private Support Coordinator

3.  After choosing a New SCE the individual or family should call the Utah DHS/DSPD Supervisor to have the case transferred.
   •  Refer to the Grievance Procedure that you should have signed from your Old SCE or ask your Old SCE who this is at DSPD.
4.  With DHS/DSPD authorization, cases are transferred to the new SCE. (try to give DSPD 10-15 days to get approvals)

or 2nd) Call the DSPD Supervisor and let them know you want to make a change by sending out an Invitation for Service Offer (ISO).

1. Interview Support Coordinators that responded to the ISO, make a selection and verify that the New Private Support Coordinator or company can still take the new individual (each SCE is allowed up to 46 cases).
2.  With DHS/DSPD authorization, cases are transferred to the new SCE.
