They encourage and foster a robust and diverse support network including staff advocates, parents, guardians, teachers, therapists, donors and community partners who assert to design the most inspired programming imaginable to promote the highest level of independence possible. The outstanding end result… our beloved beneficiaries are free to express and exercise choice, a hallmark of our methodology and approach in caring for this population.
