Missouri has officially designated June 2 as Self Directed Supports Day, marking the first statewide recognition of its kind in the state’s history.
Issued by Governor Mike Kehoe, the proclamation recognizes the importance of self-directed supports and the individuals, families, caregivers, and community partners who make them possible across Missouri.
Self-directed supports empower individuals with disabilities to exercise greater choice and control over their services, helping them live, work, and participate in their communities in
ways that reflect their goals and preferences.
