One-to-One Support
Skill-Building
We support the development of life skills—such as budgeting, communication, problem-solving, and self-advocacy—to foster greater independence.
We have an experienced, well-trained staff of direct support professionals (DSP) and skills training instructors who provide one-to-one support to adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. This support is provided to promote independence and human dignity by focusing on the following:
Social Engagement
Active participation in community events, clubs, creative arts, sports, and volunteering to build friendships and a sense of belonging.
Health and wellness
Collaborative work to promote the development of routines that incorporate healthy eating and exercise.
Daily Living Activities
We help people with disabilities maintain personal hygiene and manage household tasks.
Community Inclusion Services
Our DSPs work collaboratively with individuals on enhancing social connections, supporting independence in everyday routines, and prioritizing safety. Community inclusion activities can include the following:
- Attending local festivals and neighborhood gatherings
- Participating in arts and crafts workshops
- Enrolling in music, dance, or drama classes
- Attending civic engagement events such as town halls
- Joining recreational sports leagues or fitness classes
- Exploring museums or cultural exhibits
- Visiting parks for picnics and nature walks
- Volunteering at community organizations
Behavioral Supports
Our instructors and direct care staff are supervised by a highly trained, Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and an experienced team of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) professionals. ABA is a science-based approach that helps people understand and change behaviors that may interfere with their daily lives.
Our Behavioral Supports program involves four main components:
Assessment
This is focused on gathering information, observing behavior, collecting data, and determining why the person has certain types of behaviors.
Plan Development
We draft a Behavior Support Plan (BSP) for setting goals, teaching new skills, making changes in the environment, and providing positive reinforcement.
Plan Implementation
Once developed, the BSP is fully implemented through the individual’s daily activities. Our DSP staff are thoroughly trained on the needed strategies with a focus on removing or eliminating any targeted behaviors. With the continuous training our staff receives, we help ensure 100% consistency in executing the BSP.
Monitoring
We monitor the person’s behaviors while implementing the BSP to identify successes or to determine if there’s a need for plan adjustments. We never believe our work is “done”; rather, we ask “what is next?”
