Support and helping others
A: Mosaic supports people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live as independently as they possibly can. Since every individual is different, the amount and types of support we offer vary for each individual. Mosaic’s model of service focuses on the desires and needs of each person. Through annual “Personal Outcome Measure” interviews with the individual and their guardian, we determine what that person wants to accomplish. We then set up supports to help them work toward achieving their goals. Examples of our supports include: workshops where people learn vocational and life skills; job coaching that help people become successful in employment; and various therapies to help meet medical needs. We also provide housing for people. Some people need 24-hour/7-day living support so we provide group homes that are staffed at all times. Other people may only require staff to help with daily living activities like bathing or dressing. Everything depends upon the needs of the individual and we are as creative as possible in finding the best way to help. Mosaic has only been in Southeast Kansas since 2010, but the organization will celebrate its centennial in 2013. It has offered services in other areas of Kansas for more than 25 years.
