Through St. John’s Community Services
What is ECF?
ECF is a Waiver Program offering home and community-based services for adults 21 and over with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) not currently receiving services. ECF offers a variety of services including:
- Supported Employment
- Community Integration
- Transportation
- Personal Assistance
- Assistive Technology & Adaptive Equipment
- Minor Home Modifications
- Community Living Supports
Please Note: ECF is not intended to provide 24-hour supports for most people. In most instances, Paid Supports will be faded as skills for self-sufficiency develop and Natural Supports emerge
ECF Program Benefits:
- Supports designed to lead to valued and active participation in integrated activities reflecting the person’s interests and preferences
- Training designed to maximize a person’s abilities to manage activities of daily living in his/her home, in the community, and in the workplace
- Education and skill development to enhance the person’s ability to manage routine tasks and utilize community resources
- Development of Natural Supports to enhance full integration and decrease reliance on Paid Supports at home, at work, and in the community
