Advocates for Independence
Achieving More helps the individuals we serve gain practical experience and make connections with care providers, social programs, therapy, counselling, and other resources they need to lead a high-quality life and flourish in the community.
When they engage with Achieving More, participants in Pennsylvania’s Consolidated Waiver, Community Living Waiver, and Person/Family Directed Support Waiver programs receive expert, personalized, and authentic service delivered with compassion and understanding.
We believe with just a little support and gentle guidance, people with intellectual or developmental disabilities can reach their full potential and achieve their goals for everyday living. Our dedicated leadership and supports coordination staff share the vision that we can make a difference in our clients’ lives, empowering them to self-care and self-determination. Our persistent, professional approach and thorough understanding of the process helps our individuals and their families navigate the complicated support program, healthcare agency, and social welfare organization that can provide the resources they deserve. Our goal is to build solid, durable, and sustainable relationships with our clients founded on a caring, sincerity, and tireless advocacy.
Our Promises
Your path to ACHIEVEMENT starts here.
We will arrange a meeting within 48 hours of initial outreach.
You will be assigned a personal supports coordinator.
Your supports coordinator will consult with you and your support team to outline a program to achieve your goals.
We will ensure ongoing support and your continued satisfaction.
We know you, your family, and your support team are best equipped to assess your ambitions and determine the achievements you aspire to. Your supports coordinator is your partner and collaborator. He or she will discuss these objectives with you and draft a written individual service plan (ISP) that will serve as the roadmap to the care and aid that will bring those goals within reach.
Achieve independence at home and in the community.
