In-Home Support Services
The In-Home Support program is designed to support children in becoming active participants in both family and community life. Services focus on enhancing children’s skills through their daily living, self-help, self-care, behavior management, communication and socialization. Woodfords staff members work to develop an individual plan with each family, focusing on specific goals and objectives for the child. Woodfords believes that the family is a very important part of a team approach, and the active participation of the family is essential in building a strong foundation for the child.
