ABOUT US
Your Choice Supports Coordination provides Supports Coordination for participants in the Adult Autism Waiver in Delaware, Chester, Montgomery, and Bucks Counties. We also provide Supports Coordination Services for the PFDS, Community Living, and Consolidated Waivers in Delaware County. Our person- centered planning and community focused approach to locate, coordinate, and monitor needed services and supports for Waiver participants is what differentiates us from other Supports Coordination Organizations.
With many years of combined experience, Your Choice Supports Coordination is led by two women who have dedicated their careers to serving individuals with Autism and Intellectual Disabilities. Our supports are customized to meet the needs of the person and their family members. What makes this organization unique is our customized approach, our low "caseloads", and our low turnover rate. We keep our caseloads below the state maximum to provide the highest quality of service.
​ We work with each person and their family to creatively help them achieve what they envision to be a full and meaningful life.

Our Journey
We met in 2001 as Supports Coordinators for the Delaware County Office of Intellectual Disabilities. It was there that we were able to begin professionally helping individuals and families connect with the supports needed to help their families.
As the years went by and our careers went separate ways, we continued to communicate about the changes in the Disability field. The one thing that we would often discuss was the lack of continuity in Supports Coordinators. We both agree that this is something that would clearly be a challenge for people accepting this service and their family members.
​
In 2017, we founded Your Choice Supports Coordination, exclusively focusing on the quality of the services that we provide. Our experience has led us to believe that keeping the number of participants we serve down leads to better service delivery. We are so excited and grateful that our journeys have led us to be in a position to offer exceptional and consistent Supports Coordination to Waiver participants and their family members. You can rely on our expertise, commitment and most importantly consistent follow through when you partner with us.
