Some individuals with developmental disabilities need assistance managing everyday routines at home, while others need additional support to practice skills and participate in activities outside the home. In-Home Support provides direct assistance in these settings, helping with daily activities, household routines, skill development, and community participation. For individuals receiving services in Washington, D.C., support can take place in the home or in nearby community settings based on the individual’s authorized services and support needs.
How It Works
Depending on the individual’s authorized services, In-Home Support may involve:
Assistance with everyday household routines
Support with daily living activities
Practice with practical skills used at home
Assistance with making choices and completing activities
Support during appropriate community activities and outings
What to Expect
Support takes place during scheduled service periods and is centered on the activities the individual needs assistance with at home or in the community. A support professional provides hands-on assistance or guidance as appropriate while allowing the individual to participate in tasks and make choices. The type and extent of support depend on the individual’s authorized services and current support needs.
