  2. Who oversees and manages the clients overall wellbeing, routine and daily life in efforts to maximize their independence?
    1. If you have any questions or concerns, the very best way to communicate your needs is through the QIDP (Qualified Intellectual Disabilities Professional) assigned to your loved one. The “Q” is similar to a case manager in that he or she serves as an advocate and liaison for the resident and also ensures that the services outlined in the Individual Support Plan are correctly implemented and are consistent with the client’s wishes, needs, and desires. The QIDP provides habilitation management services and collects the information necessary to ensure a client is continually receiving informal and formal training to assist them in progressing toward their goals.
