PA Connecting Communities offers a variety of opportunities to individuals that need special supports to live at home and within the community as independent as possible. All programs and events offered by PA Connecting Communities are designed to provide CHOICE. All activities teach the skills needed to integrate into the community, maximizing ones potential to live as independent as possible with outcomes that can be measured and achieved. These programs are planned for individuals who require assistance in the acquisition, retention, or improvement of skills related to living and working in the community.

In recognition of requirements to ensure individuals’ health and welfare, we offer services, at multiple levels of staff to participant ratio for individuals or small groups, or by staff with specialized training. We offer 1:1, 1:3, 1:6 and 1:12 ratios for waiver funding billing.

We provide programs within the community, at various community centers, places of service such as fitness centers and/or at group homes for your convenience. Programs and events are planned in accordance to the need for services established through the assessment processes in the participant’s IEP or ISP.

PA Connecting Communities follows the principles of self-determination. All programs and events are consistent with our Mission and are directed towards community inclusion. We value the rights of all individuals and emphasize the strengths of each person while developing areas of weakness.
