Who We Help
Independent Living Services in PA.
Promoting independent living, Community Resources for Independence offers several independent living services in Pennsylvania. Our community resources and services benefit individuals with disabilities, veterans, and those who are aging so they can remain in their home and community.
What Does Living with an Intellectual Disability Mean?
Living with an intellectual disability presents unique opportunities for growth in learning, problem-solving, and daily living skills. With the right support, individuals with intellectual disabilities can excel in communication, social interaction, and performing everyday tasks, leading fulfilling, independent lives.
At CRI, we’re committed to empowering individuals to reach their full potential. Our Direct Support Professionals help individuals develop essential skills, fostering inclusion, confidence, and active participation in their communities by:
- Practicing communication skills that encourage self-expression.
- Strengthening social interaction to form positive relationships.
- Improving daily routines, from meal planning to budgeting.
This individualized approach ensures that every individual receives meaningful services that fit their personal goals.
With quality IDD services, individuals with intellectual disabilities can thrive at home, at work, and within their communities. CRI’s programs highlight practical skill-building and inclusion, not limitations or labels.
Our mission is rooted in respect, equality, and empowerment. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to live independently and contribute to their community in a way that reflects their strengths and values.
Building Confidence, Independence, and Connection
Community Resources for Independence works in partnership with individuals, families, and community organizations to provide support for people with intellectual disabilities. By focusing on education, personal choice, and advocacy, we help remove barriers that prevent inclusion and support independence.
Our approach is guided by the core values of individual control, empowerment, education, and advocacy.
When people have access to the right supports, they gain more than assistance; they gain the ability to make choices, set goals, and live a self-directed life.
