Ideal Services Group operates on the principles of Pennsylvania’s Everyday Lives philosophy, as laid out in the PA Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) Consulting System Website.
Everyday Lives is the core philosophy and framework of the State of Pennsylvania’s ODP. Everyday Lives is deeply rooted in the concept of Self-Determination and Positive Approaches.
The fundamental concept of Everyday Lives is that, with the support of family and friends, individuals with disabilities decide how to live their lives and what supports they need. It also means that they are responsible for their decisions and actions.
Ideal Services Group considers and ensures that the impact of every decision, rule or regulation of its staff or those working on its behalf, continues to support and promote the ideals of Everyday Lives.
