Provides education, guidance, and support to family members, friends, caregivers, and other unpaid support persons who assist individuals with developmental disabilities. The service focuses on helping natural supports understand the individual’s unique strengths, needs, and goals while promoting independence, safety, communication, social participation, and success in daily activities.
Through training, coaching, and consultation, caregivers learn practical strategies for providing effective support at home and in the community. Topics may include behavior support approaches, daily living skills, person-centered practices, health and safety considerations, and implementation of individualized support plans.
The service is intended to strengthen the participant’s support network, build caregiver confidence, and improve overall quality of life. All training and guidance are tailored to the participant’s needs and documented as part of the individualized support plan to ensure coordinated and consistent support.
