Summer is officially in full swing, bringing vacations, family gatherings, outdoor adventures, and plenty of exciting activities! With so much happening, it's easy for important details to slip through the cracks.
As a friendly reminder, please let CCI, Inc. know if any of your contact information has changed.
This includes your:
- Home address

Keeping your information up to date ensures we can stay connected with you, share important updates, and provide the best possible support.
Another important reminder: Your Direct Support Professional (DSP) should be with you at all times while they are clocked in and providing services. If your DSP is not with you, they should not be clocked in.

Do you know what Presumed Competence is? How about Dignity of Risk?
We all learn and grow from our experiences, and sometimes from our mistakes! Often, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are over-protected in an effort to keep them safe. However, this can mean that people may lose learning opportunities, or there are automatic assumptions that someone can't do something they have never even tried! Watch these short videos and learn more about these important concepts.
