Shared Support South, Inc.

Shared Support, Inc. was founded in April 2005. We are a “Spin Off” from the original company Shared Support Concepts Inc, which was founded in 1999. Our founders, after years of attempting to provide self directed services for people with disabilities in traditional models of services such as group homes, founded Shared Support, Inc. based on the belief that people can only make choices, take responsibility and grow in models that serve one person at a time. We began to provide licensed and unlicensed residential services, employment services and home based services in June of 2005. Shared Support, Inc. is an organization founded on the belief that people with cognitive and developmental disabilities are not defined by their diagnosis or labels. People with disabilities are so often viewed only as recipients of funding or services. This belief and attitude dehumanizes and segregates. With the right support and service all people regardless of the intensity of their disability related needs, can contribute to their community. We believe in the capacity view of all people. Our Mission: To support the dreams of people with disabilities and their families. Because everyone has a unique dream or hope for the future. To teach new skills and develop supports for each individual to reach towards their desired lifestyle. While people with disabilities have dreams and desires they are also challenged with disability related barriers. At Shared Support Inc. we assist people to achieve new abilities as well as to develop supports and unique services that strive to assist people to achieve their personally desired outcomes. To facilitate the contribution of people with disabilities in their chosen community. When people contribute they become valued members of our society. When a person contributes to their world they can feel the pride of growth and achievement and acceptance in their community.
