Individual-Directed Goods and Services (IDGS): An Overview Video
The Office of Aging and Disability Services ("OADS") in partnership with Applied Self-Direction has created a new training video to support the Self-Directed Services of Individual-Directed Goods and Services. In this video, we explain the concept of Individual-Directed Goods and Services (IDGS) in the Maine Self-Direction Program. IDGS offers flexibility for members to purchase items or services to manage disabilities that work towards goals.
Learn how IDGS accrual works, the process of requesting purchases, and the importance of aligning purchases with the member's needs and goals. Viewers are reminded to include all IDGS items in the spending plan and to follow guidelines to ensure purchases are allowable.

The OADS Self-Direction website offers a comprehensive collection of employer resources, budgeting tools, and educational materials, including handbooks, video guides, and workflow documentation to help individuals throughout their self-direction journey. From practical tools like the updated Individual-Directed Goods and Services Request Form to essential guidance through the Employer Handbook and its video series, the site ensures users have everything they need to successfully manage supports and services.
