Community Connections is a service program providing quality day habilitation in an integrated community setting for individuals who want alternatives to facility-based supports. Our objective is to provide opportunities for people with disabilities to enjoy meaningful community activities. Individual outcomes and paths to achieving these outcomes are determined through person-centered planning. Supports are developed and continually reassessed so that we capture the strengths and personal preferences of each participant in the program ensuring meaningful services daily. Community integration is realized through volunteering, self-determination/self-advocacy training, continuing education, employment and participation in other community functions (arts, health education, exercise, etc.). Services are individualized; and groups include no more than four individuals with disabilities. Group members must have similar interests outlined in their individual plans. Transportation to and from will be provided/arranged by Melwood with priority given to the use of public transportation.
