Respite Services
About the Program
More opportunities to connect, explore, and experience the community.
My Choice Programs provides person-centered respite services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) focused on meaningful community participation, recreation, social connection, and personal growth.
We offer services one-to-one and in small-group settings, shaped around each individual’s interests, abilities, preferences, and goals. Individuals are supported in choosing and participating in activities they enjoy—from recreational and cultural experiences to community events, educational opportunities, and exploring new interests.
Our staff also support individuals in developing practical community skills, including using public transportation, navigating their neighborhoods, practicing community safety, strengthening social skills, and identifying local activities and resources.
Every experience is different because every individual is different. Our role is to provide the support, access, and encouragement that allow each person to make choices, build connections, and participate more fully in their community.
Get to Know Us
We support individuals in building the skills, confidence, and connections needed to participate more fully in their communities. This includes learning to use public transportation, navigate local neighborhoods safely, strengthen social and communication skills, and participate in community activities. Through these experiences, individuals can build greater independence, develop meaningful relationships, and feel more connected to the people and places around them.
Recreation Education & Personal Interests
We help individuals discover and participate in recreational, cultural, educational, and social activities based on their interests and goals. This can include finding local activities online, exploring educational resources, enrolling in community courses, and trying new experiences that support personal growth. Our team of case managers and supports is dedicated to ensuring positive outcomes and exploring growth for individuals.
Individual & Small-Group Respite
Our one-to-one and small-group respite services provide opportunities for individuals to participate in meaningful community activities based on their interests, abilities, and preferences. Staff can provide transportation, guidance, and individualized support to help each person engage safely and confidently in the activities they choose.
