Narrative

Agency With Choice (AWC) or Momentum, is a model that helps individuals with disabilities to decide how, when, and from whom their services and support will be delivered. Our AWC program prioritizes choice, independence, and flexibility. Self-direction is based on the principle that people with disabilities know their needs best and are in the best position to plan and manage their own services. Participants often self-identify their own employee, or as we like to refer to them, Independent Community Connector (ICC), to provide their services and support their day-to-day activities. If they do not have a potential employee, Momentum will work with the family to match an ICC. AWC serves individuals from South Coastal towns, Greater Plymouth County, Brockton, and the Cape.
