Person Directed Supports, Inc.

Person Directed Supports, Inc. Person Directed Supports provides services and opportunities for adults with Intellectual Disabilities through person-centered planning and care.

CEO and Founder, Ken Gibat:
“There had to be a way to support people in a manner in which they had a positive, self-directed way of building a life that they wanted, a way to support people to build on strengths, not their disability, a life in which they have people involved with them that they choose, a life in which they have people who want to be in their life

and only rely on paid supports when needed. So in February of 2000, my wife and l wanted to support people in a better way, so we started a Pennsylvania not-for-profit agency that would focus on four principles.”

•Self Determination
•Positive Approaches
•Person Centered Thinking & Planning
•Community

Your independence should be your choice. At Person-Directed Supports, we believe that care should never be standardized.

Our mission is to provide these individuals with the tools and support they need to make independent choices.

Down syndrome cost her one law school. She became a lawyer elsewhere.

Ana Victoria says plainly why she moved: she was discriminated against where she lived. She finished high school online for the same reason.

The next university took her. Five years of law school later, she became the world's first lawyer with Down syndrome.

The world's first lawyer with Down syndrome wants a seat in her state's parliament next.
