Absolute HCBS Absolute HCBS provides respite, habilitation, & attendant care services across the state of Arizona.

Absolute HCBS provides respite, habilitation, and attendant care services across the state of Arizona for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities as a qualified service agency through the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) and Arizona Long Term Care (ALTCS). We have offices in Tempe, Coolidge and Tucson - serving more than 700 families across the state of Arizona. Our current, active service area includes Maricopa, Gila, Graham, Greenlee, Cochise, Yavapai, Navajo, Pima, and Pinal counties; although we accept members and providers from all counties in Arizona. Our home and community based services (HCBS) include respite, habilitation, attendant care, attendant care supervision and housekeeping. But at Absolute HCBS, we know that it takes more than home and community based services to support individuals with disabilities. We also want to empower our members, families, and providers through education and advocacy. By building strong community partnerships, based on person-centered principles, our collaborative actions are fostering an inclusive and accessible community for everyone. The care and attention given by our providers to our members promotes independence and meaningful participation. Whether our providers are giving respite as a primary caregiver, or teaching the member a new life skill, or if our admin are attending a service planning meeting or advising a new family on how to apply for services; Absolute HCBS is ready and willing to serve the community. If you are looking for flexible, entry level employment as a direct service provider (a caregiver) or if you are looking for a provider in your community to support a loved one with a disability, please contact us at www.absolutehcbs.com.

Today we are sharing a quote in honor of National Disability Employment Awareness Month! 💼💙

Sarah Jean Schwegel, a disability advocate living with spinal muscular atrophy, reminds us, “People with disabilities make particularly good employees and companies should put a lot more effort into hiring them.”

This month, we celebrate the skills, talents, perspectives, and contributions that people with disabilities bring to the workforce every day. Sometimes, all it takes is an opportunity to show what someone can do. Let’s celebrate the value, talent, and contributions of people with disabilities in the workplace.

♿️ October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month! 💼

Each October, we celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) and recognize the valuable contributions that people with disabilities bring to our workplaces, communities, and economy. 💙

This year’s theme, “Celebrating Value and Talent,” highlights the skills, talents, and achievements of Americans with disabilities and the importance of creating inclusive employment opportunities where everyone can thrive. 🌟

Throughout the month, let’s celebrate the many ways people with disabilities contribute to our workforce, and continue working toward workplaces where everyone’s talents and abilities are valued.

Our first “Inclusive Children’s Book for All” this month was chosen in celebration and recognition of Down Syndrome Awareness Month. The Hugging Princess written by Laura Petri and illustrated by Bruno Cintra is about a kingdom that had forgotten how to be happy. Then one day, Princess Zoe arrived with a joyful “Hi!”, a great big hug, and one tiny but mighty extra chromosome.

Zoe grows at her own pace, finding wonder in the little things others may overlook and greeting the world with open arms. Little by little, her warmth brings color, laughter, and connection back to the kingdom, one heart at a time.

National Disability Employment Month is a great time to talk about accessibility for our community.

In his 2013 TED Talk, “Breaking the Silence With Technology,” Mohamed Jemni, a professor of ICT and Educational Technologies at the University of Tunis, Tunisia, shares information on his research project revolving around innovative tools designed to increase accessibility for the Deaf community. From sign language translation to GPS services, his team’s WebSign project used technology to help “break the silence of deaf.” 🤟💻

He believes that, "The disability is not the problem, the accessibility is the problem."
