Microboards
Micro-boards were started as small companies to organize support around one individual. They were started because specific indivivduals needed more effective assistance than what was currently being provided in the services system. The company has control over the support dollars and ways in which support is provided. Typically the individual around whom
the micro-board is started and his/her support circle hire the staff and make all decisions regarding the design and type of assistance provided. This model has led to many types of avenues of self-determination.
