Jackson memorial hospital and joe dimaggio are utilized for other consults with various specialists in meeting the multiple needs of the individuals. A comprehensive individualized health care plan is developed for each individual requiring one; health risk factors are identified with appropriate interventions. The health care plan is incorporated as part of the individual's habilitation process and it is monitored by the interdisciplinary to ensure the best possible health outcomes.

Through the collaborative efforts of the nursing staff and that of the respiratory therapist, aggressive treatment is provided to include supporting individuals on ventilator support, often decreasing the need for hospitalizations and increasing participation in activities of daily living.
