This service includes home based support, group and individual activities, work services, socialization, psychosocial rehabilitation, counseling, psychiatric and nursing services and benefits counseling. No one is denied access to this service because of inability to pay and a sliding fee schedule is available.

Community Integration

Community integration is about integrating people with disabilities into their communities in ways that respect them as individuals rather than reducing them to their disability labels. It can mean living in affordable, integrated housing that reflects an individual’s needs and preferences. It may also mean pursuing meaningful work in non-segregated employment settings, participating in religious or faith-based activities, or visiting local parks and nature centers.

Sunshine believes that true community integration only occurs when people of all abilities participate side-by-side. To facilitate this, we offer opportunities to learn and build practical life skills that help participants become more engaged in their communities.

Providing consumers with the opportunity to interact with each other in a variety of settings also encourages the development of self-advocacy, which is the ability to speak up for one’s own interests, values and beliefs. Consumers can do this by participating in regional CSP committees and through a national coalition that connects local, state and regional committees.
