Who we support
Disability does not have one appearance. Support may involve communication, routines, emotional regulation, daily living, relationships, or participation in school and community life. We begin with the individual—not a label.
Helping each person express preferences, make choices, and build meaningful connections.
Building practical skills and dependable routines across home, school, and community life.
Responding to behavioral and emotional needs with consistency, dignity, and care.
Creating opportunities for interests, friendships, community participation, and growth.
Two ways to connect
We keep referral conversations separate from provider recruitment so families, coordinators, and prospective sponsored providers receive the right information from the beginning.
Families & support coordinators
Contact DSPI to discuss age, support needs, waiver authorization, household preferences, service availability, and the person-centered matching process.
