Individuals with developmental disabilities and
their families are often unaware of the various trainings, services, and
employment opportunities that are available. Maryland Community Connection will
help identify desired employment, provide employment training, and assist in
maintaining employment. Maryland Community Connection services include job
development, technology access, job search, resume and application development,
job training, and job retention.
Once employment is in place, Maryland Community
Connection will serve as an advocate in continuing training and services for
achieving the desires and needs of individuals with developmental disabilities
and their families.
Maryland Community Connection’s CSLA/ FISS services
are designed to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities desiring
specific areas of support. MCC’s CSLA/ FISS services cover a wide array of
support and are provided by making use of resources available in the community,
while at the same time, building on the individual’s existing support network. MCC’s
CSLA/ FISS services accommodate a wide range of choices that individuals and their
families make about how to live in their communities.

Maryland Community
Connection believes in the value of providing recreation programs, which will
allow individuals to stretch their skills and potential. The program will also
promote relationships between other disabled individuals, as well as with other
individuals in their communities. Maryland Community Connection acknowledges
the importance of physical activity for all. Sport and recreation is recognized
by Maryland Community Connection as playing a crucial role in promoting
healthier (both physical and mental) lifestyles, enhancing personal
self-esteem, and building stronger communities.
Maryland Community
Connection is proud to announce we have been awarded the on-going Rolling
Access Grant for DDA. Families in need of low intensity support services may
access them directly through MCC’s Rolling Access. MCC will provide Family
Support Services for at least 13 children and Individual Support Services for
25 adults total combined in FY 08 and FY 09 if they do not receive DDA services
except case management from Resource Connection.
“Low level supports”,
sometimes called “rolling access”, are those supports identified by the family
that may be provided for less than $870.00 for children and $960.00 for adults
by June 30, 2008; however, these supports are limited by the extent to which
resources are available. This helps families to receive support quickly without
going through the full eligibility process. Families need only verify the
child’s developmental disability. Services that may be covered by Rolling
Access include respite, purchase of assistive devices, adaptive equipment,
camp, and uninsured medical expenses.
