¿Qué es Com Hab?

Community Habilitation (Com Hab) is an OPWDD waiver service designed to help individuals with disabilities develop or enhance the skills they need to live more independently in their homes or in the community. Services are typically provided at home or in community settings.

Com Hab support can help an individual master skills such as:

• Social skills: Establishing connections with others and improving communication abilities.‍
• Self-advocacy: Knowing their rights and responsibilities and making informed decisions for themselves.‍
• Community travel: Safely navigating local places and public transportation.‍
• Money management: Gaining financial knowledge and developing budgeting skills.‍
• Food preparation: Meal planning and cooking.‍
• Socialization: Engaging in hobbies and community activities.‍
• Community involvement: Participating in volunteer activities and job opportunities.

Mastering these skills can encourage independence, enhance an individual's quality of life, and increase their confidence as they experience success.
