IN-HOME SUPPORTS HELP THOSE CHALLENGED BY DEVELOPMENTAL DISABLILITIES TO:

• Set and meet personal goals.
• Become active members of their communities.
• Foster independence and encourage personal growth.

In-Home Support Caregivers provide individualized support for children with developmental disabilities, helping them to set personal goals and learn the basic skills of day-to-day living.
