PASS is a consumer-directed home based service for children. The core goal of this service is to facilitate independent community living and participation in the most natural and least restrictive environment. Families are encouraged to achieve, promote and strengthen the child’s ability to accomplish essential activities of daily living skills, make self-preserving decisions and participate in socially normative behaviors in social settings. Through the PASS program, families are empowered to enable each child to be in control of their own lives, gain independence, make decisions and be the driving force behind their own treatment.

The Groden Center Respite Program is dedicated to providing families with planned relief from the ongoing care of their child with special needs, to assist in crisis prevention and reduction of family stress, and, and thus supporting families’ ability to continue caring for their children at home.
