PASS: Personal Assistance Services & Support
You work hard to support your child. You see your child’s strengths. Yet, you also know where your child may struggle.
If you have a child with challenges brought on by trauma, a disability or mental health concerns, you stretch to do your best to provide needed guidance and support.
You know that lots of practice and consistency will help your child learn new skills. Our PASS services offer support.
You’ll select and supervise a staff person who will help your child progress. Throughout, you’ll be in charge of the process, with your PASS team as your resource.
Your child will receive support to strengthen skills in important areas:
- Accomplishing activities of daily life
