Working with people as young as three years old, we concentrate on life skills for people to reach their full potential and quality of life they deserve. Our staff has experience with a wide range of developmental disabilities such as down syndrome, autism, and seizure disorders to behavioral challenges that may require a different structural environment. We also help during life transitions such as when a person leaves the school environment, and provide opportunities for outdoor adventures. Rest assured knowing that caregivers work with the entire family unit for complete care and help. “Working with children from three to eighteen years old, we offer a number of services to assist adults, children and families with developmental disabilities.” OUR SUPPORT SERVICES Assisting Adults and Children with Developmental Disabilities HABILITATIVE INTERVENTION Our habilitative intervention service helps children with disabilities by facilitating the child’s independence and integration into the community. We provide an opportunity for children to explore their interests, practice skills learned in a therapeutic environment, and learn through participation in community activities. This service enables children to expand their daily living skills and reinforce skills to achieve or maintain mobility, sensory-motor activity, communication, socialization, personal care, and relationship building. This service is designed to increase a child’s adaptive behavior and decrease problematic behaviors. FAMILY TRAINING & EDUCATION Being informed makes all the difference in the quality of life that both children with disabilities and your family experience. Family training and education help assist you through one-on-one instruction in learning intervention techniques to better meet the needs of your loved ones. Providing support ensures that you are not only able to understand how to give the best care to your loved ones but have all the necessary resources to do so. RESPITE Respite care provides assistance to disabled children by facilitating independence and integration into the community. This program offers relief to those who are caring for family members by providing planned breaks for families and other unpaid caregivers of children with developmental disabilities. This service can be offered in the home, center, or community.

The supports program enhances the skills learned through intervention as a means to practice those skills in the community setting among their peers.
