Services
for People with Prader-Willi Syndrome
AME Community Services, Inc.
has been providing services to people with Prader-Willi
Syndrome since 1992. Our agency provides services in
neighborhood homes specifically designated for people with
PWS. Each home has a maximum of four residents. We also
provide in-home family support services for children with PWS.
AME Community Services,
Inc. provides a highly structured plan, which involves
prescribed diets and tailored exercise and weight management
plans. AME provides a membership at a local health club for
each home. Residents are rewarded for participation in the
exercise program.
Our menus are developed and
monitored by a dietician. Daily calorie amounts are
monitored and revised on a regular basis. Access to food is
restricted.
Behavior management plans
are based on our strong commitment to positive programming.
Reinforcement systems are in place for frequent recognition
of appropriate behavior.
