Home and Community Services

Many adults who have disabilities are taking advantage of resources that come when living in an assisted living community. These adults are able to meet new people and socialize with friends while being assisted with medical care, housekeeping, personal care, transportation and other needed support and services. The subject of home living for people with disabilities is such an interest to me because as a future special educator, I hope to teach my students the necessary skills to live and work independently with little assistance.

After researching this very important subject, I have found that home and community services help adults with disabilities to meet their needs for daily living in their own home or apartment. First, a person must qualify for a program that offers services. After qualifying for a program, the adult talks with a coordinator to make sure all needs will be met.
