The projects in this area will stimulate innovative service delivery to promote greater independence among HCBS populations. These include efforts to promote competitive, integrated employment; to improve transition services for youth entering adulthood; and to develop new models of support that will enable individuals to strengthen their associations with and participate in their communities. We are also proposing improvements to our system of behavioral supports for adults with intellectual disabilities and high-fidelity wrap around services for youth with complex needs.
