WHAT WE DO
Every Life. Every Ability. One Community.
Community Support Services
CICS provides day-to-day support for individuals living with disabilities by providing 1:1 with our Disability Support Worker (DSW) to include them in society. Our DSWs provide support to our individuals by tailoring a day program based on their unique abilities and preferences. They also provide physical support in navigating and participating in the programs of choice for a better quality of life. In addition, they assist with activities of daily living, medical appointments, and encourage active engagement in the community through recreational, leisure, and social activities to foster meaningful connections and promote a fulfilling lifestyle.

CICS is dedicated to helping individuals achieve their employment goals through tailored career support programs. Also, we provide personalized job search assistance, skills development, and ongoing workplace support to ensure long-term success.
