Community Habilitation

Community Habilitation

 

Community Habilitation consists of services designed to assist individuals in acquiring, retaining, and improving the self-help, socialization, and adaptive skills necessary to reside successfully in home and community based settings.

Through the provision of this service individuals learn, maintain, or improve skills through their participation in a variety of everyday life activities. Each individual will learn skills that will help to live more independently in the context of these activities; this can be considered a functional approach to the delivery of services. These activities must be necessary for individuals to live in the community, to live more independently, or to be more productive and participatory in community life.
