Supportive Living Services

AEDD’s Supportive Living Services provide individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) the opportunity to become increasingly more independent and self-sustaining in a homelike atmosphere, which includes adequate supervision by trained staff members to assure the health and safety of the residents. 

AEDD currently has Waiver housing available in Little Rock, Maumelle, and Sherwood. Construction is underway for homes in North Little Rock and Cabot and is estimated to be completed in early 2026.

The Community and Employment Support (CES) Waiver offers services to support clients with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) with all major life activities, such as living independently and working at a job with help from an employment coach. The program promotes inclusion for clients through community experiences and provides care coordination for getting services. The goal of the waiver is simple: it helps clients with IDD to live in the community rather than in an institutional setting such as a nursing home or Intermediate Care Facility.
