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.

  • Family-Staff Collaboration Model
    methodology: family_staff_collaboration
    By establishing collaborative partnerships between staff and families, we create continuity of support across residential and family settings, because shared decision-making improves service coherence and individual outcomes.
  • Self-Direction Model for Care
    methodology: self_direction_model
    By allowing individuals with developmental disabilities to choose their own services within a state-allocated budget, we improve alignment with personal needs and increase ownership of care outcomes, because autonomy in service selection leads to more personalized and effective support.
