Facility-based Community Participation Support Services –Community Participation Support Services are designed to provide individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities the opportunities and support for community inclusion and skill development for potential competitive integrated employment. Services are planned according to your interests, preferences, and strengths while reflecting on your desired outcomes related to employment, community involvement, and community membership. This service is intended to support community life secondary to employment, as a primary goal. This service is provided from our main office location:
- Art/Music classes
- Computer skills training
- Educational trips
- Exercise groups
- Basic employment exploration
- Social groups
- Community volunteering opportunities
100% Community-based Community Participation Support Services- An alternative to facility-based day services, this service provides opportunities for you to learn more about and become a part of your community. A one-on-one program, 100% Community Participation Support Services allows you the opportunity to explore day activities and become active members of your community in the Pittsburgh region.
You’ll concentrate on a wide array of everyday living skills such as safety, communication, choice, money management, and socialization while working to become more independent in your home and gain connections to your neighborhood.
Unlike other adult day programs, this service is based out of individual's homes and allows greater flexibility and connection to community activities and resources. Many individuals choose to utilize their independence and time outside of the home volunteering at local organizations to not only pursue their personal interests but to also give back to their community.
- Cultural and recreational attractions
