Community Habilitation
Community Habilitation (Comm Hab) helps people with developmental disabilities live in the least restrictive environment possible, allowing them the opportunity to access their community and build on skills in the home while encouraging independence and self-confidence.
COMMUNITY HABILITATION OPTIONS:
Community Habilitation is individualized and customized to the desire of the person receiving services. Training and supports are provided as needed to encourage self-advocacy, community inclusion, socially appropriate behavior, communication, and healthy relationships. As an alternative to traditional day services, Community Habilitation offers a person-centered approach to achieving a person’s valued outcomes as listed in their Individualized Service Plan (ISP). People receiving Community Habilitation have access to their community as desired and/or build on skills in the home – such as maintaining a household, personal hygiene, and financial management – to encourage independence and heighten one’s self-esteem and confidence.
