Community Residential Habilitation
Trained staff work with your child at your home to learn daily living skills. Skills can include money management, cooking, laundry, advocacy at medical appointments, travel training, and more.
Family Education and Training
Several trainings are offered each year by Arc staff and outside agencies. Trainers provide parents with information regarding the wide array of services available to people with disabilities.
Family Reimbursement
Dollars are reimbursed for purchased goods and services that are not funded through other resources. Items such as diapers, medication, doctor co-pays, and sitter services may be considered for reimbursement.
In-Home Hourly Respite
Because every parent/caregiver needs time for yourself, hourly respite is available at your home by trained Arc employees. The service can be used weekly or monthly to best meet your needs.
Recreation for Kids
From community parks to area fitness centers and bowling alleys, dont be surprised where you might cross paths with the enthusiastic participants of the Kids Recreation program, which serves people of ages 8-18 on three Saturdays each month.
Kids Recreation is offered at no cost to
families.
Recreation for Adults
Adults over 18 receive a monthly calendar and can select which outing(s) are of interest to them.
Community outings include bowling, dance class,
horseback riding, scrapbooking, sporting events,
shopping, and trips to local restaurants. Transportation is included but the cost is paid by the individual with the disability.
