Our family support services provide respite for families, reimbursement, and free clinical and psychological evaluations, providing individuals and families with rest and assisting in navigating the world of OPWDD.
Our family support services provide essential financial support and resources to families navigating the OPWDD qualification process. We offer reimbursement for necessary expenses, as well as free psychological and psychosocial evaluations for those who have no other means of obtaining them, ensuring that individuals can take the first steps toward receiving the services they need.
Beyond financial assistance and evaluation support, we emphasize community inclusion, helping individuals build social connections and engage with their peers in meaningful ways.
Respite services are also available for families who are eligible through OPWDD. This service takes adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities on day and overnight trips to explore various activities and integrate into the community.
Respite and Reimbursement Services support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities who live at home with their families and have completed the OPWDD application process. To qualify, individuals must be OPWDD-eligible with all required documentation, have a life plan in place with a care manager, and do not have Medicaid. Evaluations are for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and is a free service as psychological and psychosocial evaluations are covered through this program.
We support families in taking the first steps toward securing the care they need by helping them navigate the OPWDD qualification process. Our program also provides financial assistance by reimbursing families for essential services for their loved ones with intellectual and developmental disabilities, covering costs that insurance does not.

Our Family Support Services support a wide range of individuals and families, including families looking for rest over the weekends while individuals go on day-to-night trips, families looking to qualify for OPWDD, and families looking for reimbursement funds for essential needs.
