Our dedicated, compassionate staff helps our clients learn the basic skills they will need to get along on their own. When they master those skills, they shine with pride and a sense of accomplishment. Our disabled assisted living services in Houston, TX, have been so successful because we encourage our clients to learn at their own pace, grow and flourish in ways they may have doubted were even possible. The smiles of triumph that we see all the time are the best proof of the effectiveness of our IDD assisted living programs in Houston, TX.

What Is The Center’s SMART Skills Program?
In addition to The Center’s IDD assisted living programs in Houston, TX, we have the SMART Skills program. “SMART” is an acronym for Successful, Meaningful, Attainable, Readiness, Transformation. At approximately age 22, many of our clients are ready to make the move from structured situations like living at home tor attending school to more independent living. To do that successfully, they must master particular skills such as:
- Taking care of their finances
- Dealing with conflict
- Making choices that benefit their health
- Living harmoniously with other people
- Pinpointing and utilizing community resources
Without adequate preparation for what they will encounter, our clients would risk losing some of their self-confidence and in turn, might become hesitant about being on their own. The SMART Skills program is customized to each individual so that person’s needs are fully met and addressed. Overall, the program “promotes healthy habits and good decision-making” and is a valuable step in our clients’ steady progression toward living a fulfilling and independent life.
