Narrative

Empowering people with disabilities (PwD).

The goal of Work Inc.’s Agency With Choice (AWC) Service Model is to support and facilitate a families decision to self-direct services for their family member.  Self-directed services mean that your family member has been given a specific amount of funding by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS).
