Person Directed Supports, Inc.

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.”
