The community group home service provides a quality life to people with intellectual disabilities by providing support services – day care, training and employment.
RSSPID has developed and implemented a model of supported employment for people with intellectual disabilities from which benefit more of the clients of the group homes. They are supported to find a job which gives them an opportunity to be paid for their work and also to build relationships with other people.
Self-advocacy training and User’s Council’s participation is also offered to the clients. Self-advocacy gives clients skills that help them in social integration, empowers people with intellectual disabilities to represent themselves, to make their own decisions and to have control on their own life.
There are 13 members of the group and they meet twice a week. The local self-advocacy group is also part of the National Self-Advocacy Platform, which unites advocates and self-advocates from all over the country, who represent themselves and other people with intellectual disabilities.
