Our services are delivered by Proof in Progress Inc., a DBHDS-licensed provider under Virginia’s Developmental Disabilities Waivers (FIS & CL). We collaborate closely with Support Coordinators, families, and caregivers to ensure every participant’s progress is visible, consistent, and meaningful.

Our Specialized Services
Our In-Home Support program helps adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities build meaningful, real-world skills that improve everyday life — from home routines to communication to community participation. Every service plan is individualized, goal-oriented, and supported by our exclusive SCORE Circuit so families and Support Coordinators can clearly see progress over time.
Each plan is built around five pillars (Skills, Community, Outlook, Engagement, Routines) that drive lasting independence.
Systematic Skill Building (SSB)
We use evidence-based teaching strategies to break complex tasks into achievable steps. Our staff apply structured methods like modeling, prompting, and reinforcement to teach life skills such as:
- Personal care and hygiene
- Time and money management
- Meal preparation
- Social communication and organization
- Each goal is tracked with data to ensure progress can be measured and celebrated.
Community Support (CS)
Through Community Support, we help participants practice independence in real-world settings, building confidence and comfort outside the home. Examples include:
- Learning public transportation routes
- Making purchases or ordering food
- Engaging in social or volunteer opportunities
- Developing safety and navigation awareness
- Our focus is helping each participant feel comfortable and capable in their environment.
Family Collaboration and Communication
We work closely with caregivers to ensure steady progress and consistency. Through our SCORE Growth Tracker, families receive clear, visual updates showing development across:
- Skills
- Community
- Outlook
- Routines
