Adult Services
Support for adults with developmental disabilities (age 22 and older) in Carroll County is backed by our core mission of an integrated community and self advocacy.
This means that each person we serve is given the freedom to determine what their lives will look like and what they want to get out of life.
This is done through a person-centered planning process and it is helping people become more independent and active in their community. The Carroll County Board funds and/or provides support for adults according to what each person needs and wants.
What Support Is Available?
Support for adults may include, but are not limited to the following:
- Community/Supported Employment – Assists an individual in finding a job in the community and provides important support, such as job coaching and counseling, to assist that person to be successful on the job and more independent.

- Adult Day Activities – Experiences that enhance a person’s quality of life. These include social, leisure, recreational, and enrichment activities that can be provided in a variety of settings.
