COMMUNITY BASED SERVICES

COMMUNITY HABILITATIONOur Community Habilitation program provides individualized one-on-one support to children and adults with developmental disabilities. We assist people to learn or retain self-help and independent living skills, socialization and communication skills, as well as other skills to enable them to be as independent as possible. This service is provided in both an individual’s home and out in the community. While similar to Day Habilitation, it allows for a few additional services such as permitting the Community Hab worker to attend doctors appointments with the consumer. Community Hab also has a self-directed option where an individual can have greater control over services.

EMPLOYMENT SERVICES/SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENTOur Supported Employment department assists eligible individuals with developing job seeking skills, resume writing, finding employment, job coaching and related services. We focus exclusively on finding people integrated jobs in the community.

OPWDD SELF-DIRECTION SERVICES Self–Direction services empower people with developmental disabilities and their families to design and manage services based on their individual needs and goals.

CONSUMER DIRECTED PERSONAL ASSISTANCE: PERSONAL CARE AT HOMEAn alternative to “traditional home care/personal care”, CDPA allows eligible individuals to hire and direct their own personal care workers (including most family members, a neighbor or friend), to assist with bathing, dressing, eating, and other daily tasks. Eligibility is determined by the appropriate county entity. CDPA believes there’s no place like home.
