Epic Long Island

Residential programs: the residential program provides supervised group living for adults with developmental disabilities. Each person in the program has a plan which is developed by the individual receiving services and his/her advocates, personal values and goals are integrated into the plan, as well as inclusion in the community. The program provides 24 hour supervised care. We served approximately 141 adults in 2023.

Day programs: Epic operates a day habilitation program. These programs help people with developmental disabilities develop independent living skills and social behavior. The day habilitation program is a person-centered program for developmentally disabled individuals 21 years of age and older. We were able to provide day habilitation services to approximately 163 individuals in 2023.

Clinic: the specialty clinic providers services for people with developmental disabilities to improve or maintain the quality of their lives. The services are of a habilitative clinical nature to ameliorate or to limit the disability condition in the least restrictive setting. We provide psychiatric and social work evaluations and physical, occupational and speech therapy. We also provide neurological and nutritional care. In 2023, we served approximately 1,850 people to enable them to improve the quality of their lives and to help them and their families in coping with epilepsy and other disabilities. We also provide support groups for parents, professionals, children, teens, and adults. We also provide a support group for people who speak spanish and youth.

The community services department is composed of community habilitation. This program provides services to people who have developmental disabilities and provides one-to-one training to people with intellectual/developmental disabilities to develop or enhance the skills needed to live more independently in their homes or in the community.
