Since 1980, we have provided residential assistance and support to children and adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities as they learn the skills needed to live successful lives. Our Primary Goal is to reunite the individuals with their families and teach the individuals a wide variety of skills to be as independent as possible. Since this is not possible for some, alternate living places are sought. At Potomac Center, a team of professionals, including the individual (and guardian if appropriate), develop and implement plans and activities to ensure all needs are met.The Potomac Center is West Virginia's only intensive training facility for children with intellectual/developmental disabilities and accompanying behavioral problems.
We believe that all people, regardless of ability, are capable of learning and growth. They also have the right to enjoy the same privileges and benefits available to all community members.
Respect for our individuals and their right to be treated with dignity are paramount as we support each person in their chosen life experiences.Potomac Center, Inc. is an independent, not-for-profit, private organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.

Requirements to become a foster parent
When you want to apply to become a foster parent, your first step should be contacting the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources or a private foster agency. An advocate will reach out to you and answer any questions you have. Your foster agency is one of your best sources of support.
West Virginia HealthCheck is an Early Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment program available to kids in foster care. Through the program, foster children receive a variety of care options, including appointments for primary health and preventative services. Kids also receive dental screenings, immunizations, behavioral and developmental assessments, etc.
Foster parents may receive a subsidy for each foster child in their care as well as clothing allowances and vouchers. Talk to your foster agency to learn more about monthly foster care payments, as these vary depending on the age and needs of the child.
Check your region for foster parent support groups as well. These groups provide excellent opportunities to meet other foster families and receive help.
