Eligibility – Individuals with disabilities who are in need of support with personal care, education, work and community integration are eligible. Admission decisions are based on the choices and needs of persons referred and the capability of the program to meet these needs.
Individualized Programming – A Case Manager coordinates communication between families/guardians, staff and other agencies. Through this communication, an individualized program plan is formed. This plan reflects the strengths, preferences, and needs of the person served and is designed to maximize independence, productivity and integration into the community. Individual plans are reviewed every six months, or on an as-needed basis, to ensure that needs of the individual are being met.
