Frequently asked questions

How do we start services with Tailored Support Services?
Talk with your Supports Coordinator (SC) and ask them to send us a referral, or send one yourself through our referral form. We will call you back, learn about the person and their goals, and work with your SC to add TSS to the Individual Support Plan (ISP).
Which waivers do you accept?
We are a Pennsylvania licensed provider for ODP waivers (Consolidated, Community Living and P/FDS) and the Adult Autism Waiver (AAW). Not every service is available under every waiver, so your SC can confirm what your plan covers.
What if we do not have a waiver yet?
Reach out anyway. We can explain how waiver services work and point you to your county intellectual disability and autism office (or your SC, if you have one) to start the process.
Is there a cost to the family?
These services are funded through the waiver. If you have questions about what your plan covers, your SC is the best person to ask, and we are always happy to talk it through.
Which areas do you serve?
We serve Philadelphia, Montgomery, Delaware, Chester, Bucks, Berks and Lehigh counties in Pennsylvania. Our office is in Bala Cynwyd.
Can we choose or change our support professional?
Yes. We match each person with a support professional based on personality, interests and goals. If the fit is not right, tell us and we will work with you on a change.

Still have a question? Call (215) 650-7405 or send us a message.
