Helping people with developmental disabilities gain independent-living skills

Catholic Charities In-Home Program: Services for Persons with Disabilities provides residential and community-based teaching and assistance for people with developmental disabilities or traumatic brain injury within their own homes or apartments, or in a foster home setting. Our In-Home Program is a positive alternative that helps with the development and maintenance of personal care and daily living skills needed by disabled persons to remain independent and self-sufficient.

Collaborative, team approach to self-realization and direction

Catholic Charities In-Home Program begins with a 45-day assessment by a professional staff of QMRPs (Qualified Mental Retardation Professionals) and an Interdisciplinary Team which sets goals and objectives based upon the person's strengths and areas that could realize some improvement. Personalized plans are developed to meet the unique needs of each individual served. Clients also receive the benefits of our staff's specialized training in autism and other developmental disabilities and their openness to networking with other agencies to provide a variety of specialized services such as assisted technology, essential lifestyle plans, and behavioral plans.
