About us

We are the torch bearers in southeast Pennsylvania’s behavioral health, leading and inspiring others to their fullest potential. Our services are elite with our quality of care for the individuals and families we serve. We do this through our motto of “Passing Knowledge onto Others.”

Our consumers are adults ages 21 or older with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families through the Pennsylvania State Program called the Adult Autism Waiver (AAW). The program is designed to help adults with ASD participate in their communities in their own way based upon their identified needs.

We aim to provide the best service to our consumers so that they may live to express their personal interest and healthy lifestyles.

Responsibilities:

Community Support assists participants in acquiring, retaining, and improving communication, socialization, self-direction, self-help, and other adaptive skills necessary to reside in the community. Community Support facilitates social interaction; use of natural supports and typical community services available to all people; and participation in education and volunteer activities. Community Support includes activities that improve capacity to perform activities of daily living (i.e., bathing, dressing, eating, mobility, and using the toilet) and instrumental activities of daily living (i.e., communication, survival skills, cooking, housework, shopping, money management, time management, and use of transportation). Community Support may include personal assistance in completing activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living as an incidental component. Community Support may also include supporting a participant in management of the participant’s medical care, including assisting the participant with scheduling and attending medical appointments, filling prescriptions and self-administering medications, keeping health logs and records, and monitoring participants for warning signs for a known diagnosis as identified in their service plan.

Community Support must be necessary to achieve the expected goals and objectives identified in the participant’s ISP. It may include implementation of the BSP, the CIP and/or the SBP and collecting and recording the data necessary in order to evaluate progress and the need for revisions to the plan(s).

This service is provided primarily in private homes and in unlicensed, community-based settings. Transporting participants may be billed by the provider as a discrete unit only when the participant is in the vehicle and the travel is integral to the delivery of the service.
