Community Based Habilitation seeks to develop and/or enhance the skills of persons with cognitive and intellectual challenges, physical limitations and/or learning disabilities to better navigate their world.
Accordingly, services are delivered in a one-on-one setting so that the individual can develop greater confidence and independence. This service starts off within the home of the individual being served and then it extends into the community.
Based on current regulations, the client’s family member can be the provider of the Community Based Habilitation services if he or she meets the qualifications and requirements set forth in the regulations from NJ DDD.
