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.

  • Inclusive Service Access
    methodology: inclusive_access_model
    By committing to serve all individuals who seek assistance, the organization ensures access for marginalized and complex-needs populations because an inclusive model reduces barriers and prioritizes adaptability in service delivery.
  • Person-Centered, Individualized Planning
    methodology: person_centered_planning
    By using person-centered and individualized goal-directed planning, the organization increases independence and community inclusion for individuals with developmental disabilities because tailored support strategies align with personal goals and life contexts.
  • Self-Directed Support Model
    methodology: self_directed_support
    By allowing individuals with developmental disabilities to self-direct their support resources and staff, the organization promotes greater independence and autonomy because control over personal support enhances agency and self-determination.
  • Supplemental Funding for Service Continuity
    methodology: supplemental_funding_model
    By securing supplemental funding through an independent foundation, the organization closes service gaps for individuals with developmental disabilities because additional financial resources enable sustained and flexible support where public funding falls short.
