Adults and Children with Disabilities

Our services emphasize participation in everyday activities as the key to providing the best opportunities for learning and growing. Through regular community involvement, individuals build natural, social and support networks that provide the foundation for their development, growth and change.

• Expertise in assessing, supporting and serving individuals with developmental disabilities;
