Are you interested in having an impact on the lives of people with developmental disabilities in Southeastern Pennsylvania?
The members of COBAC (Community Options Business Advisory Committee)are a group of volunteers who are interested in assisting persons with disabilities in becoming active and contributing members of their community while ensuring that quality assurance is maintained throughout the local program in their area.
Because COBAC members come from diverse professional backgrounds, they offer immeasurable assistance to Community Options and the individuals we support with job placement and development, access to community resources, marketing, financial advice, fundraising and other activities that lead to the visibility and participation of individuals with disabilities within their communities.
All COBAC members provide support through contacts they have within the community and their desire to support each individual in building a full life in the community.

Mission Statement

Description
Community Options, Inc. was incorporated on February 9, 1989 to develop residential and employment supports for people with severe disabilities. Since its inception, Community Options has been devoted to serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, thus cultivating a reputation for providing exceptional person-centered services that are unique to each individuals’ needs. With a mission to develop housing and employment opportunities for people with disabilities, Community Options believes in the dignity of every person, and in the freedom of all people to experience the highest degree of self-determination. Throughout its history, Community Options has participated in institutional closure and community residential placement for thousands of people across several states. As a national agency, COI does not administer any large programs; rather, we recognize that people with the most severe disabilities require environments, equipment, clinical staff, and supports that are individualized and tailored to their specific needs. COI programs and services include community-based living, employment supports, high school transition programs, and specialized programs for respite and medically fragile people with disabilities.
