You must change your IPP. The IPP process determines the services and supports you need and allows you to identify those you want. It is also a way to make sure you can be integrated into your community. (See Chapter 4 on the IPP process, and Chapter 7 on living arrangements.)

If you live in a developmental center or other institution, you should have an assessment and an IPP based on your needs and wants. Look at what is keeping you from living in the community, and what you need to live in the community. Sometimes, housing, services, and supports are not available. But if the services and supports you need to live in the community are listed in your IPP, your team must find or develop those for you.
