Community Habilitation provides in-home habilitation assistance to individuals (including children) with disabilities. The community habilitation service is intended to be a more efficient mechanism for the delivery of habilitative services in the community to facilitate community inclusion, relationship building, leisure skills, self- advocacy, travel training, and assistance with activities of daily living.
