DSPD Services at Hive Supports

What Are DSPD Services?

​

DSPD, or the Division of Services for People with Disabilities, is a Utah state program under the Department of Health and Human Services. It provides Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) through Medicaid waivers for individuals with disabilities, including those with intellectual disabilities. These services aim to promote independence, community integration, and self-determined living. DSPD offers a range of supports, such as supported living, day services, respite care, behavior supports, and transportation, all tailored to the individual’s needs as outlined in their Person-Centered Support Plan (PCSP).

​

How Hive Supports Serves Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities

  • Supported Living: Assistance with daily activities like personal care, household tasks, and socialization to help clients live as independently as possible in their own homes or with host families.

  • Community Integration: Opportunities to engage in social activities, events, and outings, fostering meaningful connections and a sense of belonging.

  • Skill Development: Support to build life skills, such as communication, self-care, and decision-making, to enhance independence and vitality.

  • Personalized Care: Tailored support plans that reflect each client’s unique goals, needs, and desires, ensuring they thrive with dignity and joy.
