Applied Self-Direction

Applied Self-Direction is a mission-driven consulting and technical assistance organization dedicated to advancing self-directed services for individuals with disabilities and the elderly. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Boston, the company serves as a national hub for stakeholders, including state government administrators, Medicaid providers, and advocacy groups. They provide expert guidance on the operational and regulatory infrastructure required for person-centered care, such as labor laws, tax requirements, and Medicaid compliance. Their services include consulting, training, and a membership program that supports over 150 organizations across the United States. In 2025, the organization announced the launch of a separate nonprofit, The Self-Direction Center, to focus on education and research while Applied Self-Direction continues its technical and consulting work.
