There are several residential service options available through Waves. Supervised living situations, or "supported living," refers to homes which have either live-in staff or staff who work in shifts around the clock to ensure there is always a responsible person available to provide assistance. We also offer a semi-independent living option for adults who choose to live independently. Their quality of life is monitored by trained staff while respecting the privacy of each resident.

Description
Services are provided for families with children birth through age three with disabilities or developmental delays. Through developmental therapy, trained teachers and professional therapists support families in promoting their child's optimal development; facilitate the child's participation in family and community activities; and encourage the active participation of families in the intervention by embedding strategies into family routines. The program has tripled in the number of children served in 2016.
