Community Development Services (CDS) is a community-based door-to-door service HDC offers as an alternative to a facility-based, Day Habilitation service.
CDS operates in staff to participant ratios of 1:1 to 1:4. By providing an array of community experiences and learning opportunities, individuals receiving CDS support will not only benefit from increased social and recreational opportunities, but also will ultimately help create a pathway to employment by improving the individual’s employability through community participation and the development of vocational interests that is based on a person’s interests, skills, and abilities.
Community Development Services offers community experiences that include volunteer activities, travel training by using public transportation and community resources, enrolling in classes, workshops, and seminars, participating in community recreational and social activities, peer counseling, discussion and activity planning groups, and health and wellness counseling.
