To achieve habilitation outcomes, our services involve providing assistance, prompting, instructing, modeling, and reinforcement in the following areas:
Activities of Daily Living
Activities of daily living (ADLs) include essential self-care tasks such as bathing, grooming, dressing, feeding, and toileting. Our direct support professional can assist individuals with developmental disabilities in performing these activities while promoting independence and self-determination.
Health Maintenance
Critical for individuals with developmental disabilities and who may be at higher risk of certain health conditions, maintaining their health can be ensured by our staff and caregivers through a variety of ways. Clients can receive regular medical check-ups, follow prescribed treatment plans, and adopt healthy lifestyle habits.
Medication Maintenance
Our staff can assist with medication management, including ordering refills, organizing medication schedules, and administering medication as prescribed. They can also monitor any side effects and report any concerns to healthcare providers.
Developing Good Health & Wellness Practices
Developing good health and wellness practices can help maintain good physical and mental health. We can assist our clients living with disabilities in developing and implementing healthy lifestyle habits and stress-reducing activities. They can also provide education on healthy practices, such as proper hygiene, and provide support to help individuals develop healthy habits.
Emotional Support
A safe and supportive environment is essential to allow individuals with disabilities to develop emotional regulation skills and coping strategies. We can help them manage and overcome anxiety, loneliness, and other emotional challenges through companionship and other healthy habits.
Decision-Making
Making decisions independently can be difficult for people with disabilities. This is why we can provide direct support to our clients by helping them develop decision-making skills and support them in making informed choices. We can also offer guidance and assistance in navigating complex decisions such as medical treatment, employment, and housing.
Home Management
For individuals with developmental disabilities, managing these household activities can be challenging, and they may require assistance from a provider of developmental disabilities direct support services. We can help them develop independent living skills and offer support in managing household tasks such as budgeting, grocery shopping, and maintaining a clean and organized living space.
Managing Personal Resources
For most people with developmental disabilities, managing their personal resources can be challenging. Resources such as finances, insurance, and other benefits are necessary to avail the services they need. Thus, we assist them in creating a budget, paying bills, and managing their savings to ensure that their resources are used wisely and for reasonable purposes. We can also deepen their understanding of government-funded programs and benefits, such as Medicaid or Social Security Disability Insurance, and help them assess those.
Transportation
Transportation can be a significant challenge for individuals with developmental disabilities, especially when it comes to accessing community resources and social events. We can assist individuals in accessing transportation services, such as arranging for accessible transportation or accompanying individuals on public transportation.
Mobility
Limitations in mobility can hinder an individual’s independence and participation in daily activities. This is why we support our clients in accessing mobility aids, such as wheelchairs or walkers, and provide training on safe and independent use.
Developing Relationships
Developing and maintaining relationships is an essential part of living a fulfilling life, but it can be challenging for individuals with developmental disabilities. We can help clients in building social skills and relationships with peers and community members.
Socialization
Socializing is critical to help our clients to feel connected and valued in their community. This is why we strive to improve their socialization skills and the relationships they build with peers and community members.
Participating in Preferred Activities
We can also help them participate in the activities that they are interested in. We can assist them in trying out hobbies and accessing resources and groups where they can gain benefits from.
Community Integration
To help our clients live a fulfilling and inclusive life, we help them in accessing community resources and services that can build relationships with community members. Activities like attending community events, volunteering, and participating in community activities to promote social inclusion and participation are highly encouraged.
Utilizing Community Resources
Healthcare services, educational programs, and vocational training are some of the programs that we can help our clients access. We are experienced in navigating complex systems and finding the right ways to make resources available to them. Technology, such as online resources and communication tools, are also helpful resources to promote independence and self-sufficiency.
Communication with Family Members, Friends, Caregivers, Health Practitioners, and Others
Communication is essential to our clients to maintain relationships and access necessary support. This is why we are dedicated to assisting them in communicating with family members, friends, caregivers, health practitioners, and others in person or via telephone, the internet, or social media. This can help develop communication skills, access communication aids, understand communication tools and platforms, as well as reduce isolation.
Financial Management
Managing finances can be challenging for our clients, and as providers of developmental disability care, we strive to help them manage their finances. We achieve this by providing support in creating and managing budgets, paying bills, accessing government-funded programs and benefits, and understanding financial systems and processes.
Developing Personal Interests
Developing personal interests is essential to living a fulfilling life. To start, we identify the interests of our clients and find resources that help them pursue their hobbies. We strive to provide them with options for community resources and programs that align with their interests.
Risk Management
Identifying and mitigating risks associated with daily activities and social participation are all a part of risk management. It is important to keep clients safe and secure. Thus, we develop strategies for managing risks and promoting safety, such as identifying emergency contacts and creating emergency plans.
