Community Networking services provide individualized day activities that support the individual’s definition of a meaningful day in an integrated community setting, with persons who are not disabled. If the person requires paid supports to participate and engage in the activity once connected, Community Networking can be used to refer and link the individual. This service is provided separate and apart from the individual’s private residence, other residential living arrangement, and/or the home of a service provider. These services do not take place in licensed facilities and are intended to offer the individual the opportunity to develop meaningful community relationships with non-disabled individuals. Services are designed to promote maximum participation in community life while developing natural supports within integrated settings. Community Networking services enable the individual to increase or maintain their capacity for independence and develop social roles valued by non-disabled members of the community. As individuals gain skills and increase community connections, service hours may fade.
