Individual and Family Support
Service Coordination
is a person-centered planning approach,
designed to help individuals get necessary services and support, based
on their individual needs and desires.
Family Support Services
include in-home respite to
provide a break for caregivers, out of home recreation
opportunities for socialization, and family reimbursement to
help with expenses specifically related to the care of a family member
with a disability living at home.
Home Care
provides hands-on help for bathing,
dressing, meal preparation feeding, household and other types of
chores to relieve the primary caregiver.
Day Habilitation
assists adults with disabilities to acquire,
retain or improve self-help, socialization, and adaptive skills and to
help develop motor skills.
Guardianship Services
ensure that people over 18 years of age with
developmental disabilities have someone to act on their behalf and in
their best interest, without removing the person's other civil or
legal rights
Transportation
is an integral part of bridging support
available to people with developmental disabilities.
Transitional Planning,
particularly from School to Work or from
School to other life experiences. is another phase of Service
Coordination and person centered planning available through The Arc.
Employment
Transitional Employment (School to Work)
provides prevocational and work-study services for students at least
16 years of age through The Arc's vocational training program, Glen
Industries.
Prevocational
services prepare individuals for the work environment and for the
social relationships that the workplace demands.
Work Activities Center
provides paid employment and vocational training services for
individuals who need a little extra support before moving forward and
applying for community job placement and/or supported employment.
Supported Employment
provides staff and/or material support for a person to obtain or
retain employment in an integrated setting.
Community Job Placement
assists individuals in finding and getting a
job in the community.
Residential
Supports and options
Residential options at The Arc come in all sizes and types but each is
planned around the individual and his or her needs, wants and desires.
Intermediate Care Facility Services
are highly
individualized residential services designed to help people reach
their maximum independence through holistic clinical oversight and
consultation. The number of people living in these homes varies from 8
to 12 people.
Individualized Residential Alternatives provide periodic or
24-hour home-based training and supervision for the acquisition,
retention and improvement of a host of daily living, safety and
adaptive skills. Again the number of people in these living situations
can vary widely from 1 to 7 people.
Residential Support Services provided in a person's home
focus on health skills training, socialization skills training,
community skills training and functional skills training.
Individual Support Services supplement the needs of
individuals who are living on their own but may need some limited
financial and staff supports to retain their independent living.
