Who We Help

Our organization supports individuals of all ages with developmental disabilities, which encompass a range of conditions resulting from limitations in physical, cognitive, language, or behavioral areas. These conditions typically emerge during a person’s developmental stage, can affect daily functioning, and often persist throughout their lifetime.

The Family Supports Program provides funding for items and programs that enrich your life.

Samantha shares about her job, "I love that my position allows me to interact with so many different people inside and outside the organization, it’s perfect for a social butterfly like me."
