Why Choose The Supported Living Group for Connecticut ABI Waiver, ASD Waiver, and Community-Based Disability Services?
Choosing a support provider for yourself or a loved one is one of the most important decisions a family can make.
The right provider is not simply an organization that delivers scheduled hours of support. A true support partner understands the individual behind the diagnosis, recognizes their strengths, adapts to changing needs, and creates opportunities for greater independence, confidence, and community participation.

Choosing the Right Provider Matters
The Supported Living Group Difference
Selecting a disability services provider is a significant decision.
Families should ask:
Does this provider understand my loved one's diagnosis and needs?
Does the organization have experienced leadership?
Can they provide specialized support?
Are services individualized?
Do they focus on independence?
Can I visit their programs and meet the team?
At SLG, we encourage families to ask questions, explore options, and choose the provider that best aligns with their goals.
The Supported Living Group is committed to raising the standard for community-based disability support services throughout Connecticut.
