The Chesapeake Connection, LLC is a Maryland provider certified by the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) to deliver Community Development Services to adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Based in Prince Frederick, we serve individuals and families throughout Southern Maryland under the state's Community Pathways Waiver, including participants who self-direct their services.
Community Development Services help adults build the skills and confidence to live as independently as possible and to take part fully in the life of their community. Working one-on-one and in small groups, our trained direct support professionals provide personalized instruction and support in everyday skill areas such as independent living and daily routines, personal care, money management and financial literacy, personal safety, communication and social skills, building relationships, using technology, and getting ready for work.
What makes our approach different is where and how services happen. Rather than a classroom or facility, learning takes place out in the community — in the real settings where these skills are actually used, from stores and banks to libraries, recreation programs, and local businesses. Every participant's services are person-centered: built around their own goals, preferences, and abilities, and designed to grow independence, meaningful connections, and genuine inclusion in community life.
