Conditions We Provide Support

Intellectual disability involves limitations in intellectual functioning, including learning, reasoning, and problem-solving, along with difficulties in adaptive behavior. These limitations can affect practical, social, and everyday skills and may influence the type of assistance an individual needs across different settings.

Impulse control disorders involve difficulty resisting impulses, urges, or behaviors that may result in harm to the individual or others. Support may be relevant when impulsive behaviors interfere with daily activities, relationships, or an individual’s ability to participate safely in different settings.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can involve significant changes in emotions, impulses, relationships, and behavior. Individuals may experience intense emotional responses or difficulty managing impulses, which can affect interactions with family members, caregivers, and others in their support network.

Autism, also referred to as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), can affect communication, social interaction, behavior, and sensory or activity patterns. Individuals may have different combinations of support needs, including assistance with communication, social situations, routines, and participation in community settings.

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a neurological condition that can affect movement and posture as a result of differences in brain development or injury to the developing brain. Depending on the individual, it may affect balance, fine and gross motor skills, muscle tone and control, oral motor functioning, and coordination.

Bipolar Disorder involves episodes of significant changes in mood and energy, including periods of elevated or unusually active mood and periods of depression. These episodes can affect daily functioning, relationships, routines, and an individual’s ability to manage activities and responsibilities.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by ongoing patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity that can interfere with daily functioning. Depending on the individual, these difficulties may affect organization, time management, planning, goal-setting, communication, and work-related responsibilities.

Pica involves persistent eating of substances that do not provide nutritional value. Examples may include substances such as dirt, paper, hair, ice, chalk, or other non-food materials, and the behavior may require attention as part of an individual’s overall support needs.
