Independence, built where people live, learn, work, and participate
Our mission is to support and promote individual and family independence in the communities where people live, learn, work, and participate.
Our focus is people with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities, their families, and young adults — together with the schools, professionals, and community organizations that support them.
