Endless Possibilities in the Community (EPIC)

Community integrationassisting persons with disabilities in developing friendships while accessing, with emerging independence, venues of their choice in integrated settings within the Community. We are able to assist our consumers in this endeavor by providing a web of community-based services and supports. Consumers will be supported one on one when needed with hopes of fading this support to "natural supports" in the community.raising expectationsepic actively works to educate and develop partnerships with the client's family and caregivers; particularly encouraging families, caregivers and persons with disabilities to dream and raise their expectations for meaningful Community participation, thus raising expectations in the community.self-advocacywe wish to teach our consumers self-advocacy skills and support them as they advocate for themselves and others on a state and national level. We wish to give our consumers and their families the skills to educate legislators and the broader Community about issues that are important to them; the outcome being improving the lives of people with disabilities.
