For this time period 141 of 144 participants measured demonstrated progress resulting in an overall performance of 98% successful (target was 95%). As stated earlier these services combine individual growth and skill development along with reduced costs for care - the adt program served 145 unduplicated people during the time period measured. Line 4b: description of program service - community support services community support services (css) provides training and supports to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities while they are in community settings, and often is a key ingredient in their ability to succeed in the community. Services include training to assist participants in learning how to access the community and its varied resources, to manage their financial resources and their activities of daily living, to maximize their ability to live as independently as they desire and are capable of, and to help them seek employment and wages when desired. The aim is to assist them in living successfully with the least amount of supports and services, thus increasing their independence and reducing the costs to government for more expensive/intensive services that aren't warranted”
