Community Habilitation
BRIDGES’ Community Habilitation program assists people of all ages with developmental disabilities in maximizing their potential for independence. Our specialists work with people in their home to achieve valued outcomes that have been identified by the person and their advocate or caregiver. Community Habilitation is a Medicaid-funded program operated under OPWDD to provide one-to-one training to people with intellectual/developmental disabilities to develop or enhance the skills needed to live more independently in their homes or in the community. Community Habilitation supports the person’s Life Plan and contains activities that are developed to help the person achieve his/her goals. It is then implemented through home visits and community activities as set by a schedule between the person with intellectual/developmental disabilities and BRIDGES.
