An individual with a developmental disability may need assistance both with activities at home and with participating in the broader community. Pennsylvania ODP services can provide support during everyday routines, community activities, social opportunities, and other situations where an individual may need assistance to participate or practice skills. These services can be relevant when support is needed within the home as well as when an individual is taking part in activities or relationships outside the home.
How It Works
Support is provided in home and community settings according to the individual’s authorized services:
What to Expect
The individual receives support during the activities and settings covered by the authorized service, which may include everyday activities at home or appropriate community participation. Depending on the service, assistance may involve direct support, skill practice, social interaction, or participation alongside the individual during an activity. The setting, frequency, and level of assistance vary according to the individual’s authorized services and support needs.
