PALS typically receives authorization to provide services thru the Regional Center, County Agencies, or School Districts. The authorizing agency provides payment directly to PALS.
PALS specializes in working with people who may have one or more challenges adjusting to everyday independence, whether it be socio-emotional difficulties or disabilities, e.g., depression, Schizophrenia, a history of abuse, and so forth, as well as with people who need more self-care support, e.g., using the bathroom independently, crossing the street, etc. The common denominator is that the persons served have mild to profound involvement with an intellectual disability.
PALS offers full or part-time, including tailored day services.
PALS has a wide range of vehicles, including vans with hydraulic lifts for persons utilizing a wheelchair. Transportation is funded thru the authorizing agency, and PALS will pick you up at your home and drop you off at the end of the service day.
Our heroes here at PALS have made not only an impact in their field but also on other people's lives with their compassionate nature, dedication, and determination to help others reach their full potential.
