Aspire is proud to announce it is now offers service coordination in New Hampshire. This expansion reflects Aspire’s commitment to providing person-centered support that empowers people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to thrive.
“We’re excited to expand our services in New Hampshire,” says Lou Giramma, CEO. “This new chapter allows us to tailor our support to the distinctive needs of the community, offering people with IDD with more choice and control over their services.”
With Aspire’s service coordination, you can expect a hands-on partnership that expertly guides you through the maze of healthcare, education, and community resources.
“Imagine having a dedicated ally who not only links you to essential services but also tailors their support to meet your specific needs and goals,” says John Whittemore, senior director of operations. “That’s exactly what we provide—ensuring every person receives the personalized support they need to unlock their full potential.”
One of the standout benefits of service coordination is its ability to simplify the process of accessing and navigating the complex web of available services. By working with a service coordinator, individuals and their families can avoid the frustration of navigating the system alone and instead focus on achieving their goals and improving their quality of life.
But service coordination is more than just connecting people with services; it’s about empowering them to advocate for themselves and make informed decisions. As Kristina Valley, director of case management, explains, “Our approach is designed to empower people with IDD by building their skills and confidence to take charge of their own lives. We work collaboratively to assess needs, create personalized care plans, and connect individuals with the resources they need, ensuring they can make informed choices and live life on their own terms.”
Take Sarah, for example. Sarah, a young woman with autism, has been benefiting from service coordination with Aspire. With the support of her service coordinator, Sarah has enrolled in vocational training programs that align with her career aspirations and connected with a local volunteer organization where she now works. She feels confident navigating her path and embracing opportunities she once thought were out of reach.
