Comstar is a community residential program incorporated in the State of Maryland in 2001 
to provide direct care services, medication management, Therapeutic services and case management 
services to the youth below the age of 21 with developmental disabilities in accordance with COMAR.

The mission and philosophy of Comstar is to provide Residential services to participants with 
IQ below 100 that will enable them to achieve their potential for independence and productivity while 
furthering their empowerment and integration into society.  Comstar also help in the Transition 
services, to transition the youths that we serve to Adult services when they turn 21 years old. 
Services are provided in a comfortable home environment within the community where the youths can 
be taught skills on how to live and grow independently in society.

1  RATIONALE

The Residential services are designed around each participant's unique desires, interests, and needs, 
including needs for guidance, learning, personal development, self-fulfillment, and community inclusion.  
We hope to assist the individuals with increasing their independent living skills in the most integrated 
setting possible in order to encourage each individual to build meaningful relationships with community 
members who are not paid staff and who do not have a disability.
