Empowering Individuals to Thrive with Independence, Choice, and Community

What Is Personal Support?

Personal support services are guided by the Person-Centered Plan (PCP) developed for each program participant. The program offers choices and increased independence while encouraging productivity and shared community involvement.

Through different activities geared toward enhancing daily life-skills development, our primary focus is to help Individuals develop and maintain the highest level of independence possible in the most integrated setting. Our personal support services in Queen Anne’s County develop supportive and productive relationships with program individuals while encouraging and facilitating choice, self-direction, self-advocacy, natural support, and community integration. These supports can be provided in the participant’s home, family home, community, and/or at a work site.

Guided by the Person-Centered Plan (PCP)

Every journey begins with a personalized plan. Grounded in the Person-Centered Plan (PCP), we empower individuals with developmental disabilities to live more independent, fulfilling lives through daily support, life-skills training, and community engagement. The PCP outlines the participant’s goals, preferences, and support needs. This serves as a blueprint for our team to provide:

Meaningful and relevant support
Opportunities for growth and independence
Real-life activities aligned with the individual’s goals
A support system that evolves as the participant does
