Services

Community Living Services

Options provides services to more than 160 children and adults with disabilities through a variety of residential settings. These services are designed so that individuals live where and with whom they want. Services are provided in the individual's home or in one of our two group homes.

Supported Employment Services

Options supports individuals with disabilities to find and keep jobs in their communities. Using a team approach, the agency provides job-seeking skills, job placement, long-term career development services and ongoing support. Options assists employers to meet their ongoing workforce needs by matching people to jobs.

LEAP Services

Options' newest addition to services is the Life, Enrichment, Activities, and Participation (LEAP) Service, a group of community-based habilitation services that provide people with disabilities opportunities to make choices, utilize community resources, and develop friendships. LEAP can supplement other services in which Options customers participate, such as supported employment or supported living. Some of the daily offerings include cooking, swimming, music, touring, walking, arts and crafts, movies, going to lunch, health and safety, computers, and more.

Behavior Support Services

Options defines Behavior Support as training, supervision, or assistance in the expression of emotions and desires, and assertiveness or acquisition of socially appropriate behaviors. This service also includes training and consultation with staff, family members, roommates, and others.

Health Care Coordination Services

Health Care Coordination (HCC) provides a medical professional to coordinate healthcare services. The service ensures that everyone who provides medical services to a customer are informed about that person's unique support needs. Options' staff works with the individual and his or her team to promote and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Respite Services

Respite refers to short-term, temporary support to people with disabilities so that their families can take a break from the daily routine of care giving. Raising a child with disabilities can be a very rewarding experience, yet it can also be a very exhausting task. When a parent becomes consumed and overwhelmed with caring for their special child, the child's well-being may be at risk as well as the parents'. Respite service staff work with the family to lessen the pressures that may lead to institutionalization, divorce, neglect, or child abuse.
