Artikel ini membahas mengenai peran-peran pendamping dalam meningkatkan keberfungsian sosial penyandang disabilitas intelektual melalui program berbasis home care bernama Program Pelayanan Jarak Jauh (PPJJ) Tahun 2017. Para pendamping tersebut merupakan kader masyarakat yang memberikan bimbingan fisik, mental, sosial, dan keterampilan kepada penerima pelayanan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kader masyarakat yang berpengalaman menangani anak-anak disabilitas mampu menjalankan berbagai peranan dalam rehabilitasi penyandang disabilitas intelektual, antara lain sebagai pemercepat perubahan dalam mengungkap permasalahan dan kebutuhan penerima pelayanan, sebagai penghubung antara penerima pelayanan dengan sumber pelayanan, sebagai asisten personal yang mendampingi penerima pelayanan dalam proses bimbingan rehabilitasi dan mendorong keterlibatan keluarga dalam pelayanan home care, dan pembuat laporan. Beberapa pendamping juga mampu berperan sebagai fasilitator yang memfasilitasi proses kedukaan yang dialami keluarga. Pemberdayaan kader masyarakat lokal sebagai pelaksana program dapat terus dikembangkan untuk memperluas pelayanan sosial. Namun, peran pekerja sosial profesional tetap dibutuhkan, sehingga keduanya diharapkan bekerjasama untuk meningkatkan keberfungsian sosial penyandang disabilitas intelektual.
