Developmental Educational and Behavioral Outcomes (DEBO)
For some, success is the ability to reach new goals in the community. For others, it is the ability to respect and trust someone new. For employees as well as shared living providers, success is rooted in their ability to make a difference in the lives of others.
We believe that feeling safe, loved, engaged, and loving back are the foundation of support.
We share with all participants:
"You are safe with me, always and everywhere. It is far better to be together than to be isolated and alone. It is good to learn the meaning and depth of my loving expressions. It is good to learn to express loving back to me, to yourself, and to others."
We believe that personalized services and meaningful relationships have the power to transform lives, and we see that in action each day. Our home- and community-based services deliver meaningful outcomes that positively impact the lives of those we serve.
DEBO requires, expects, and promotes ethical practices at all levels of the organization in accordance with its Quality of Care Standards, Code of Conduct, and the laws and regulations governing the communities in which we serve.

Achieving Excellence in Service Delivery
Service excellence begins with unwavering commitment.
At DEBO, every employee embraces this dedication across all service types and settings. True excellence means being the best at what we do—fulfilling our promises to the individuals and families we serve while empowering them to lead healthy, productive lives.
We have identified the key domains that drive enhanced quality-of-life experiences for those we support, ensuring that every aspect of our care is purposeful and transformative.
Environment
Our environments are designed to be both clean and welcoming—spaces that actively support the well-being and independence of those we serve, as well as our dedicated team. Every detail is thoughtfully maintained in strict accordance with licensing and accrediting agency standards, ensuring a safe, nurturing, and inspiring atmosphere for all.
Health and Safety
We understand that true well-being encompasses every aspect of a person's life—body, mind, and spirit. That’s why we offer access to comprehensive health and wellness services designed to support and enhance overall quality of life. Our integrated approach ensures that every individual receives personalized care that is as unique as they are.
Recognizing that mental health is just as important as physical health, we also promote compassionate mental healthcare, including counseling, therapy, and support programs designed to promote emotional resilience.
We promote comprehensive dental care. Oral health is a vital part of overall wellness, from routine cleanings and preventive treatments to restorative procedures, we aim to keep your smile healthy and beautiful.
By providing a continuum of care that addresses every aspect of health and wellness, we ensure that each element of the participants well-being is nurtured and supported, making it easier than ever to focus on what truly matters: living the best life.
Individual Service Plan Programs
At DEBO, we believe that every individual is unique. Individual Support Plan (ISP) Programs are a core part of the person-centered approach, designed to capture the specific goals, preferences, and needs of each person we serve. These plans are not static documents; they are living tools that grow and evolve alongside each individual.
Creating an effective program starts with a comprehensive, collaborative assessment. We involve the individual, their family, service coordination, and our team of dedicated professionals to ensure that every element of the plan reflects a true partnership. This collaborative process allows us to set realistic goals, identify strengths, and address challenges, providing a roadmap that reflects both present circumstances and future aspirations.
Programs serve as a dynamic framework for achieving greater independence, enhanced participation in the community, and improved quality of life. Whether the focus is on developing new skills, accessing innovative therapies, or fostering deeper social connections, each plan is tailored to support the individual’s unique journey and aspirations. As life changes, our programs are revisited and updated, ensuring that the support provided remains relevant, flexible, and responsive to evolving needs and ambitions.
By continually refining our approach and integrating the latest best practices and innovations in care, we empower each person to take an active role in shaping their future. With a commitment to growth, respect, and shared success, our programs are designed not only to address current needs but also to inspire confidence and independence over the long run.
In essence, our program plans are more than just a blueprint for services—they are a promise of ongoing support, empowerment, and the celebration of each person’s unique journey toward a fulfilling life.
Behavioral Supports
At our organization, we recognize that every person's behavioral journey is unique. That’s why our Behavior Support Plans (BSPs) are crafted on a case-by-case basis and are seamlessly integrated into an individual's broader Individual Support Plan (ISP) as needed. This personalized approach ensures that each plan reflects the individual's distinct experiences, aspirations, and challenges, providing practical strategies tailored to help them navigate daily life successfully.
Our BSPs are developed through a collaborative process involving behavioral specialists, therapists, and dedicated support staff who work closely with individuals and their families. This team approach allows us to identify specific strengths and areas for growth, resulting in supportive interventions that address behavior in a thoughtful and respectful manner. Regular reviews and adjustments make sure these plans remain dynamic, evolving to meet changes in the individual’s circumstances and goals.
By focusing on evidence-based practices and innovative strategies, our Behavior Support Plans empower those we serve to build coping skills, foster positive relationships, and confidently engage with the community of their choice. In essence, these plans are more than just interventions—they are roadmaps for personal development, promoting independence and ensuring that every individual can thrive both at home and within their community.
This personalized, adaptive approach to behavioral support reinforces our commitment to empowering every individual to lead a fulfilling, autonomous life.
Community Life
At DEBO, empowerment isn’t just a goal—it’s the foundation of everything we do. We believe that every person deserves the opportunity to shape their own future, guided by their unique passions, talents, and dreams. That’s why we provide personalized supports, resources, and opportunities that empower individuals to set the direction of their own lives, paving the way for independence and self-determination.
We also understand that community is where life truly flourishes. Our programs are designed to break down barriers, ensuring that everyone can fully engage in and experience the richness of community life. Whether through social events, vocational training, recreational activities, or advocacy initiatives, we create inclusive environments where every individual can build meaningful relationships, celebrate personal achievements, and make lasting contributions to the communities they call home.
Our dedicated team works hand in hand with each person to develop tailored plans that honor their interests and goals. We provide guidance and support every step of the way—from discovering new strengths to overcoming challenges—so that every journey is uniquely celebrated. In doing so, we not only help our participants realize their full potential, but we also nurture vibrant, interconnected communities where every voice is valued.
By empowering individuals to choose their own paths and actively participate in community life, we create a space where every person can thrive, experience joy, and truly belong.
