The Lycoming-Clinton Intellectual Disabilities/Autism Services Program provides a variety of services to assist individuals with Intellectual Disabilities/Autism and their families to live and work in their home communities.
Why We Provide These Services
There was a time not too long ago when someone diagnosed with disabilities was kept apart from their family and community in large state-operated centers or segregated in "special ed" programs in school.
Today we recognize the benefits of integration, not only for the individual with Intellectual Disabilities/Autism, but for the entire community as well. Thus, the support services offered by the Lycoming-Clinton Intellectual Disabilities Program are based in the local community and encourage active participation by the individual, their family, friends, and neighbors.
About Our Services
Our services include residential and in-home care, vocational and employment services, family support and specialized therapies.
Lycoming-Clinton Joinder maintains an agreement with the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services Office of Developmental Programs to provide administrative functions as the Administrative Entity. We are the primary resource to support and direct Providers in matters relating to enrollment, ongoing participation in the Intellectual Disability/Autism Waivers and other funding sources.
What are Intellectual Disabilities?
The official definition is sub-average general intellectual functioning, which originates during the development period and is associated with impairment of maturation, learning and social adjustment. The term "Intellectual Disability" is replacing the outdated phrase "mental retardation" since it more accurately describes the individual's condition.
What Does it Cost?
Intellectual Disabilities/Autism Services are provided at no cost to the individual and/or family.
