Community Inclusion

We believe that everyone needs to have an active role in the community in which they live. Historically, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities are often excluded from the community, which is a detriment to these individuals and the community as a whole. We assist participants in exploring their community and making the type of community connections that most of us take for granted. Aspects of our community inclusion program include leisure activities, educational programs, religious events, employment activities, social activities, and goal setting.
