In our largest program, we serve children and adults who receive state approved services through the Division of Disabilities Services (DDS) a branch of the Arkansas Department of Human Services. The fact that these services are community based offers a broad array of options for the individual as far as opportunities for independence development. Goals and objectives addressed in this service area often include:
- Behavior Shaping and Management
- Communication
- Community Experiences
- Daily Living Skills
- Decision Making
- Health Maintenance Activities
- Mobility
- Money Management
- Reinforcement of Therapeutic Services
One of the best things about this service option is that community-based services can be delivered in the consumer’s home or, should the consumer lack a home of their own or not live with family, the services can assist the consumer in locating a home. The Case Management component of this service coordinates all the services the individual receives which can include: Supportive Living, Respite, Adaptive Equipment, Specialized Medical Supplies, Non-Medical Transportation related to service needs, Consultation, Planning for Health and Safety, etc.
