Exceptional integrated communities that enable meaningful connection, contribution and growth for adults with I/DD
The Why
Young adults with disabilities “age out” once they reach age 22, depriving them of the services and supports provided by law through the school system. Many times, the help received by families of young adult children then disappears, leaving concerns about employment, housing, independence, transportation, social interactions, healthcare and financial security.
