activities, events, and places with people who do not have disabilities
building and maintaining skills for community independence
use of transportation options
developing work- based skills and interests
learning socially acceptable behavior
self-advocacy skills
building and strengthening relationships in the community
The service may also include participating in advocacy activities, local events, classes, and volunteering.
CDS is a community-based program, and is not provided at home or an agency facility. Individuals should be engaging in the community throughout the CDS service hours. Community Development Services are limited to 40 hours maximum per week.
