COMMUNITY HABILITATION
Community habilitation gives people who have disabilities the skills they need to become more active and engaged with their community and pursue their goals. Our person-centered data driven approach to
community habilitation helps individuals who have developmental disabilities to improve their independent living skills and participate in their community. Whether they live with family, independently, or in supported housing every individual can get community habilitation support tailored to meet their own unique needs

Our goal is to help you to become independent and contributing members of the community, while providing employers with happy, productive and dedicated employees.
SELF-DIRECTION
Self-Direction empowers people with developmental disabilities to manage the supports and services they receive, to determine who provides these supports, and decide how and where they are provided. Individuals who choose to self-direct their services will work with a Support Broker and Fiscal Intermediary to obtain goods and services that promote greater independence within the community and participate in activities that may better meet their needs.
RESPITE SERVICES
We recognize the importance for caregivers to have temporary relief from the continuous support and care that they provide for their loved ones with differing abilities. Respite services provide companionship and temporary relief from the demands of caregiving, which helps reduce overall family stress. This often enables families to better meet the needs of their loved one with a developmental disability. Respite can be provided in the home or out of the home, during the day, evenings, or on the weekends.
