A Roadmap To Support Services (3rd Edition - Revised & Expanded) is designed to help adults with developmental disabilities who want services, understand and access them. Support Services are individually designed to assist these individuals to live in their own home or with family or friends and fully participate in community life, including work. These services are different from Comprehensive Services, such as residential services, group homes, and foster homes, which may provide 24-hour support.
