14-year-old male diagnosed with Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy is seeking home modifications to improve

accessibility and independence within the bathroom. Due to mobility limitations associated with his diagnosis, the

individual experiences significant difficulty accessing and utilizing the current bathroom fixtures. The existing

toilet is approximately 18 inches in height, which prevents the individual from independently transferring onto and

off the toilet. It is recommended that the current toilet be replaced with a lower-height toilet that will better

accommodate his physical needs and promote greater independence with toileting tasks.

Additionally, the individual requires modifications to the current shower. It is recommended that the existing

shower be replaced with a larger, walk in shower with 3" ledge to step over that has a minimal or no-threshold

entry to reduce barriers and improve safety. These modifications are necessary to accommodate the individual's

functional limitations related to his diagnosis.

We are currently seeking a provider for an 18 year old female with autism who is non-verbal and in need of housing with 24/7 supervision and support in either a congregate setting or ICF placement. She requires consistent direct care support and staff experienced in working with individuals with autism and behavioral support needs. It should be noted that this would be the first time she would be transitioning out of her family home. A patient, structured, and understanding team will be very important in helping her adjust to a new living environment and routine. She is ambulatory and, while she enjoys being active in calm, structured environments, she also has a pattern of withdrawing and often spends extended time in her bedroom. Staff should be understanding of her need for downtime while still encouraging engagement, routine, and participation in daily activities at a pace that feels comfortable for her. She has a grabbing behavior at times, especially when others enter her personal space or “bubble.” Staff should understand the importance of giving her physical space, approaching her calmly, and building rapport over time. When she feels comfortable and trusts staff, her grabbing behaviors can become less frequent, though ongoing behavioral support and consistency will still be needed. She vocalizes occasionally and will sometimes say “uh oh.” She also uses her iPad as a communication tool from time to time and should have access to it as much as possible, as it is a major source of comfort and engagement for her. Supports needed include: 24/7 supervision and monitoring for safety Assistance and physical prompting with all personal hygiene tasks Support selecting weather appropriate clothing and ensuring clothing is put on correctly Transportation support with appropriate spacing between her, other individuals, and the driver Behavioral support using patience, consistency, and autism informed approaches Community outings in low stimulation settings She enjoys walks on quiet walking paths that are not crowded, loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, has a great sense of humor, and has a beautiful smile. She responds best to patient, compassionate staff who take the time to understand her communication style and sensory needs. Experienced providers who are comfortable supporting individuals across the autism spectrum and who can provide a calm, structured environment are strongly preferred.

We are currently seeking an ICF placement for a 16-year-old male who is experiencing challenges within his current home environment. The individual does very well in school with participation, grades, peer relationships, and overall involvement. However, he struggles at times with following household expectations and rules, often due to difficulty separating school structure from home expectations. Developmentally, his functioning is reported to be more comparable to approximately an 8–10-year-old level despite being 16 years old. Per the legal guardian and physician, this developmental functioning is not expected to significantly change over time. The individual experienced the loss of his biological grandmother at the age of 4 and has also struggled with the absence of his biological father, who voluntarily moved away and is not involved in his life. He has been raised by his court-appointed legal guardian since the age of 4. The guardian and her husband are both approximately 80 years old and are experiencing increasing difficulty managing behaviors and household expectations as the individual grows older. Overall, he does well on a daily basis and is not considered a significant behavioral concern; however, the current living environment is becoming increasingly challenging for all involved. Diagnoses/Areas of Need Include:-Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)-Speech Impairment-Full Scale IQ of 65-Cognitive Developmental Delay-Intellectual Disability-Developmental Speech and/or Language Disorder.
