Community Inclusion
Community Inclusion is a unique service for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We emphasize providing opportunities for all individuals to achieve their highest potential and greater access to their community at large.
Am I eligible? Individuals age 62 years and older and individuals 18 years old and older who have 9 months vocational experience
How do I sign up? All referrals for Community Inclusion must come from your Case Resource Manager.
What will I do in Community Inclusion? Individual plans are designed with client input. Clients and one-on-one staff will participate in community-based activities, working on personal objectives and goals. Community Inclusion is goal-focused, specifically designed for each individual to progress toward independent community participation in ways that are most meaningful to him or her.
What days and times will I attend? Arc staff can help transport to and from each client's desired community activities. During the intake process, specific days and times are worked out.
