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

‼️REMINDER - help us support now 125 people living independently by donating to our food drive!

Drop off at any of our offices or connect with us for pick up in the Lancaster and York regions.

As many of you know, we at Person Directed Supports, Inc. have a Housing Department that works with people that have disabilities to live in their own independent environment.

Unfortunately, it appears there is high potential that programs the people we support rely on will be cut, paused, and/or delayed………SNAP (and LiHeap being delayed to December 3, 2025). These changes will NOT affect our community homes or LifeSharing, but it will affect our Housing Department. Our Housing Department currently supports 114 people that live on their own in the community.

As we always do, we are coming together to help so many in need……

We will be holding a food drive in all regions and are seeking donations of non-perishable food items.

Donations can be dropped off at any of our office locations or if you’re in the Lancaster or York area, arrangements can be made for pick up.

We are asking that all donations be received by 11/10/2025 so we can deliver.

We thank everyone for their continued support and generosity. It truly makes a difference 🏡
