We strive to promote inclusion in the greater community, to maximize personal choice and decision-making and to help individuals reach their full potential in all areas of their lives. Since 1958, the Agency has grown into a full service provider offering programs and services to children and adults as well as their families. During fiscal year 2007, more than 1,000 individuals of all ages as well as their families received services from one or more of the agency's programs.
