As an innovator in human services since 1972, we address the needs of more than 500 children and adults with developmental disabilities. Our charitable community organization is built upon a tradition of offering services that meet the highest quality standards to individuals, whether child or adult who are in need because of disability, age or economics. Whether services are provided in the home, in a residential setting, in a day-program setting, or on the job, those services are focused on the individual, their family and their community and are provided in a competent, caring, and professi...onal manner. All agency programs have a goal of learning and implementing best practices.
