Many individuals with a developmental disability seek opportunities for continued growth past their high school years. Often, they want to pursue their interests throughout adulthood. Or, some choose to become more involved in their community. We offer individualized and group support that helps people build and expand their skills and encourages continued interaction with their peers and community.
