Developmental Educational Assistance Program

D.E.A.P.

Adult Supported Living Services

Supported living services are individually tailored arrangements of resources and supports that enable people to live as independently as possible in their community.

Who is Eligible?

This service is intended for adults (age 18 and over) who have a developmental disability.  Some individuals are able to live with support in their own apartment; others may remain living with their families or have a roommate.

How to access services?

Supported living services are accessed through a developmental disabilities Case Manager or DEAP Family Support Specialist who can place an individual on the waiting list.  When a service opportunity becomes available, the individual with the highest need for the service will be selected by a screening committee.  Individuals ages 18-21 years old receiving Intensive Family Education & Support Services may use their cost plans to purchase these or other adult services without being on a waiting list.  DEAP provides services in the following counties: Carter, Custer, Dawson, Fallon, Garfield, Powder River, Prairie, Rosebud, Treasure and Wibaux.
