Community Support Services
Day Habilitation Services are aimed primarily at the development, acquisition enhancement and maintenance of skills that further the consumer’s ability to function independently in the home and the community. Services include interventions in the areas of social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development and may include training in areas such as daily living skills; communication; mobility; reduction of maladaptive behaviors; and use of community resources. Services of a developmental nature, including evaluations and prescriptive training, may be included as defined in the consumer’s service plan. Services focus on enabling the consumer to attain his/her maximum functional level and should be coordinated with any other services or therapies listed in the service plan. Day Support Services are designed to assist persons in the acquisition, retention and/or improvement of skills that create a quality and appropriate day for the consumer. This service offers a combination of supports by addressing the multiple needs for individuals. This service is intended to assist the individual with community activities, facility-based training activities, pre-vocational activities, and supported employment activities. These individuals receiving this service must receive two of these three components unless all of the services delivered are community-integrated services. The Individual Service Plan for persons receiving this service will reflect the specific support components as well as their frequency and duration. Supported Employment offered to people who, due to the severity of their disabilities, need ongoing support to work. Services include supports to choose, obtain and keep paid employment in community jobs. The scope and intensity of support may change over time, based on the needs of the consumer. No one type of job or support model is assumed to be appropriate for all consumers. Services may be provided in a variety of settings that meet the specific service criteria of (1) paid employment (2) with opportunities to interact with people who do not have disabilities, and (3) the need for and provision of ongoing support. Wages must be paid in compliance with all applicable Department of Labor requirements. Most jobs in this category are a minimum of 20 hours per week. When consistent with consumer needs and interests, quality indicators include increases in the number of hours worked, increases in wages and benefits, increased opportunities for interaction with co-workers and an increased utilization of natural supports (with a corresponding decrease in dependence on direct, agency provided support). Supported Employment services should focus on the consumer’s career, rather than simply a job. |
