How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Community-Integrated Support Model
    methodology: without_walls
    By delivering services in natural, community-based settings rather than facilities, we produce greater social inclusion and relevance, because supports are embedded in the contexts where individuals live, learn, and engage.
  • Person-Centered Planning
    methodology: person-centered_planning
    By centering individuals' goals and preferences in service design, we produce more effective and dignified support systems, because people with developmental disabilities are best positioned to define what improves their quality of life.
  • Positive Behavior Supports
    methodology: positive_behavior_supports
    By using Positive Behavior Supports, we reduce challenging behaviors and improve well-being, because this approach addresses underlying needs through proactive, individualized strategies rather than punishment or exclusion.
