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.

  • Consumer-Directed Care Model
    methodology: consumer-directed_care
    By allowing individuals to hire and manage their own caregivers, we produce greater flexibility, choice, and quality in in-home support because personal control over care providers enhances autonomy and service alignment with individual needs.
  • Integrated Systems Advocacy
    methodology: health_transportation_coordination
    By advocating for coordinated interventions between health and transportation systems, we expand equitable access to medical transportation for high-frequency users with public insurance because integrated service delivery reduces systemic barriers and improves continuity of care.
  • Person-Centered, Individualized Support Planning
    methodology: person_centered_support
    By designing services around personalized life goals and individual needs through tailored support plans, we produce greater independence and quality of life because customized assistance in daily living, housing, and community engagement aligns directly with each person’s aspirations and capabilities.
  • Remote Support Technology for Independence
    methodology: remote_support
    By using live, two-way virtual communication systems, we enable individuals with disabilities to live more independently in their homes and communities because remote monitoring and support reduce reliance on in-person staffing while maintaining safety and responsiveness.
