Personal
Support Services
We support adults with Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities to live safe and fulfilling lives through experiences that foster independence and enhance self-esteem. Our representative payee program assists those with Social Security benefits and budgeting for independent living, and Foundational Community Supports provide benefits for supportive housing and supported employment.
Our Disability Services programs include our state-recognized Supported Living program and our Meaningful Day recreational day program.
Our ground-breaking Training Department also provides training to other agencies. We created the first virtual "Train The Trainer" program for the Developmental Disabilities Administration of Washington State.
