Office of Developmental Programs (ODP)
The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) oversees Pennsylvania’s intellectual disability and autism services, which include home and community-based services (HCBS), private Intermediate Care Facilities for individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IDs), and state-operated ICF/IDs, also known as “state centers.” ODP collaborates with county and administrative entities to manage federal Medicaid HCBS programs.
Who Might Need Developmental Care Services?
Individuals diagnosed with intellectual disability, people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), individuals with cerebral palsy, down syndrome, language and learning disorders, and those experiencing significant developmental delays impacting daily life.
At Helping Others to Live, we specialize in developmental care services by focusing on the unique needs and aspirations of each individual we serve. Our approach is centered on fostering independence, promoting personal growth, and enhancing the overall quality of life for those with developmental challenges. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive, which is why we provide personalized care plans that address physical, emotional, and social needs.
Our highly trained and compassionate team works closely with individuals and their families to create a supportive environment where strengths are celebrated, and goals are achieved. Through skill-building activities, tailored therapies, and consistent encouragement, we empower individuals to develop confidence, reach milestones, and engage actively with their communities.
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to dignity, respect, and inclusion. Whether it’s assisting with daily living tasks, facilitating meaningful interactions, or offering guidance for long-term success, we are dedicated to making a positive, lasting impact on the lives of those we serve. At Helping Others to Live, we don’t just provide care—we build opportunities for brighter futures.
