Clinical Services and More

There is a host of services and supports designed for adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities and their families who receive assistance from the DC Department of Disability Services (DDS). Our services are delivered directly in the home or community, ensuring that each individual receives support in the environments where they live, learn, and thrive. These services include the following.

Physical Therapy:
Our physical therapy services focus on maintaining and improving mobility, strength, balance, and safe movement. This may include training in the use of walkers, wheelchairs, adaptive mobility devices, or navigating stairs and uneven surfaces. Each session is designed to enhance independence, reduce fall risk, and build confidence in daily mobility.


Occupational Therapy:
Our occupational therapists help individuals strengthen the skills needed for everyday living. This includes fine motor development, handwriting, dressing, grooming, sensory regulation, and household task management. We tailor interventions to support independence, functional routines, and meaningful participation in home, school, and community life.

 

Speech‑Language Pathology Services
Our Speech‑Language Pathology services support individuals in developing the communication and swallowing skills they need for everyday life. Our speech‑language pathologists help with expressive and receptive language, articulation, social communication, and the use of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) when needed. We also provide evaluation and treatment for feeding and swallowing concerns to ensure safety and comfort during meals. Each plan is personalized, strengths‑based, and designed to help individuals communicate confidently at home, in school, and throughout the community.

​

Nutritional Services:
Our nutrition and wellness services promote long‑term health through personalized guidance on diet, hydration, and lifestyle habits. Beyond improving physical health, these services support energy, emotional stability, and overall well‑being at home, at work, and in the community. We help individuals and families build sustainable, healthy routines that fit their daily lives.


Behavior Support Development:
We provide individualized assistance to understand and address challenging behaviors. Our team identifies underlying needs, develops tailored behavior support plans, and trains staff to respond effectively and compassionately. The goal is to support emotional regulation, mental wellness, and positive behavioral outcomes while honoring the individual’s dignity and communication style.
 

Family Training:
We offer specialized education and coaching for families to help them support their loved ones with confidence. This includes learning care strategies, understanding available resources, navigating service systems, and building routines that promote safety, independence, and meaningful engagement. Families receive practical tools and ongoing guidance tailored to their unique needs.
 

Parenting Supports:
Parents and caregivers play a central role in the success of every individual we serve. Our parental support services provide coaching, emotional support, and practical strategies to help parents understand their child’s needs, strengthen communication, and create supportive home environments. We assist parents in navigating school systems, medical appointments, community resources, and behavioral challenges. Our goal is to empower parents with knowledge, confidence, and a strong partnership—ensuring they never feel alone in the journey of supporting their child’s growth and independence.
 

Transportation:
We provide safe, reliable transportation to and from appointments, community programs, and daily activities. Transportation services are designed to reduce barriers, support participation, and ensure individuals can access the environments and opportunities that matter most to them.
