Intellectual Disability Services

The Lycoming-Clinton Intellectual Disabilities Program provides a variety of services to assist individuals with developmental disabilities and their families to live and work in their home communities.

Mental Health insurance policies (Medical Assistance, Medicare, private insurance, etc.) can cover some or all of the costs depending on the service received. Lycoming-Clinton MH/ID Program also pays for some services.

Fees are based upon income and the individual or family is aware of all costs up front. However, all services can be arranged regardless of an individual's ability to pay.
