Our services

Community Participation Support

Belonging isn’t a program. It’s a life. We help people take part in their communities in ways that are meaningful to them.

What’s included

How we help

Getting out, getting involved, and belonging: volunteering, classes, recreation, and friendships in the neighborhood.

  • Volunteering and exploring work interests
  • Classes, clubs, faith communities, and libraries
  • Recreation: parks, trails, sports, the arts
  • Building friendships and natural supports
  • Learning to navigate public spaces and transportation

Who this is for

Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism, who receive ODP services in Pennsylvania. Services are authorized through your Individual Support Plan (ISP).

How it’s funded

Typically through ODP waivers (Consolidated, Community Living, or P/FDS). Your Supports Coordinator can confirm what your plan covers.

Care the way our family gave it

Out in Western Pennsylvania

From riverfront trails to the corner store, we support people where real life happens, alongside neighbors, not apart from them.

Your interests lead the way

We explore what you love and find places to share it. Every outing builds skills, confidence, and connections.
