Our Services
Our Case Management program provides personalized support to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. Support Coordinators work one-on-one with the people we serve to assess needs, advocate for individual goals, and help navigate available resources. Support Coordinators ensure supports are tailored to promote an individual's independence, personal choices, and quality of life.
Outreach services are designed to assist individuals and families who do not have Medicaid by connecting them to community resources and other supports. By increasing awareness of available services, families will know where to turn for assistance through education, collaboration, and community engagement.
