-- The announcement comes as the NY OPWDD office announces an extension of its initial campaign to attract additional service providers and address the shortage of practitioners. Home Care Advisory Group can help residents with developmental disabilities understand and obtain the services available to them once they qualify.

Last year, OPWDD invested $9 million to recruit roughly 50,000 applicants to fill 231 open positions in the system, helping to address critical shortages within the program. In early April, the state committed to two additional years of the same funding to bring staffing levels more in line with needs.
This move should help the state more effectively serve residents with developmental disabilities and their families. However, individuals must apply and qualify for services - a process many find complex. Home Care Advisory Group can help with applications and medical paperwork, and assist individuals in obtaining benefits once they receive approval.
The OPWDD offers a variety of services that help special needs individuals lead fulfilling lives. Benefits can take many forms, including residential services, spanning a variety of housing options to assist individuals who need varied levels of support. Day programs focus on skill development and socialization through organized activities and programs. Health and employment services, such as job training and placement, may also be covered. The state also offers families counseling, respite care, and other support.
New York state provides support for individuals with diagnoses like autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and other developmental disorders that can cause physical, intellectual, or emotional challenges. Home Care Advisory Group can help these individuals qualify for services to help them perform activities of daily living, participate in the community, and reach their full potential.
