Caring for a loved one with special needs means ensuring they have the support to grow, learn, and become more independent. At Advanced Developmental Disabilities Services (ADDS), our personalized habilitation therapy delivers on all fronts. Habilitation services, unlike rehabilitation which focuses on recovering lost skills, are designed to help individuals with special needs develop new abilities.

The Purpose of Habilitation Services
The Purpose of Habilitation Services
Building Independence
Habilitation therapy is at the core of helping individuals with special needs become more independent. By focusing on areas such as communication, motor skills, and social interactions, habilitation therapy provides the tools needed to enhance daily life. Whether it's learning how to express needs, preparing meals, or improving social interactions, our program ensures that your loved one gains skills that directly improve their quality of life.
For families, our Parent Provider Program offers the opportunity to take an active role in this development while being supported by expert staff. This program allows parents or guardians to become paid Direct Care Workers (DCWs) for their children, ensuring that their loved ones receive habilitation services from the person who knows them best.
Personalized Care
By providing individualized care in a residential setting, we make sure that each person receives the attention and support needed to thrive in a home environment. These residential habilitation services are delivered by highly skilled direct care providers and Parent Providers, who work one-on-one with individuals to address their unique needs. From personal hygiene to home management, our habilitation programs allow individuals to build confidence and autonomy in a familiar space.
Social Skills
At ADDS, we emphasize social skill development through structured activities, group outings, and community-based events. By encouraging meaningful social interactions, our habilitation programs allow individuals to practice communication, collaboration, and teamwork. Parent Providers play a crucial role in this process, guiding and supporting their loved ones as they learn how to connect with others in a variety of social settings.
Consistent Support
No one understands the needs of your loved one better than you do. That’s why our Parent Provider program is such a critical component of our habilitation services. By offering the highest pay rates in Arizona, we encourage parents to step into the role of a care provider for their child.
With the highest pay rates for Parent Providers, our programs help your loved one grow and give you the opportunity to be directly involved in their development. To learn more, contact Advanced Developmental Disabilities Services today.
