About Us:

The association is part of a world-wide movement to support persons with developmental challenges in their home community.

Families, friends, volunteers and employees work together to:

• Support persons with a developmental challenge to create and achieve life plans in their own community.
• Advocate for inclusion of persons with developmental challenges in recreation, social, religious, educational, economic, employment and health services.
• Press for greater societal support of persons with a developmental challenge through legislation and funding of community services.
• Encourage our community to understand and live alongside persons with a developmental challenge.
