What We Do
Named for its focus on Ability, the team at proAbility, a division of The Arc of Bristol County, continually challenges themselves to meet the needs of Rhode Island children, families, and adults through a wide array of services.
proAbility provides community support services to individuals who reside with their family members in Rhode Island. These services are an opportunity for these individuals to enhance their skill development while continuing to reside with their family.
Services:
proAbility staff will work closely with you to ensure that your Community Supports are designed to enhance your personal growth and skill development. This will be achieved via the development of an Individual Support Plan and ongoing contact with you.
proAbility’s Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) provide skill development services in the following areas:
• Self-Care
• Independent Living Skills
• Social Skills Development
• Other Identified Areas of Need
Eligibility:
Criteria to receive Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities & Hospitals (BHDDH) Funded Services:
•Be found eligible for DD-BHDDH services by meeting the eligibility criteria.
•Be found eligible for Medicaid either through SSI or the Department of Human Services.
Unlike other organizations that provide similar services, proAbility does not fit the individual to the service but designs the service around the individual.
