Developmental Disabilities

Aimed at developing work readiness at whatever level matches the individual’s capabilities, Aspire teaches promptness, social skills, communication skills, and other work-related skills.

Once engaged in “work,” indivduals are provided the level of support needed to ensure successful outcomes on the job. For some this may look like checking in with their supervisor intermittently throughout the month; but, for others, needed support may be hand-over-hand assistance throughout the time the individual is in the workplace.

Aspire provides residential placement and services for clients whose support needs require 24/7 supervision and watchful oversight.

Aspire provides both one-on-one and group opportunities for individuals to identify, use, extend, and sustain resources, connections, and relationships in the community which are naturally occurring, based on clients’ facilitated community engagement and integration.

While clients reside in their own or their parents’/families’ homes, we provide skill building opportunities via modeling, repetition, practice opportunities, or other teaching methods to ensure that individuals’ basic and higher-level needs are met. Toward that end, hygiene, grooming, cooking, cleaning, clothing care, orientation and mobility, communication, and social skill-building are addressed, as needed and appropriate.

Funded by the state of Georgia, Aspire provides specialized medical equipment and supplies, environmental modifications for individual access, and assistive technology through our Family Support Services approval process.
