The AADD has so many programs and support for the community it is well worth your time to look at their website for all the details. This is a section from their website.
"Our mission is to build communities of support, acceptance, and opportunity for children, adults, and families living with developmental disabilities. We believe people with developmental disabilities, and their families, are among the most challenged, excluded and vulnerable people in society. In response, AADD works to build strong communities that encourage and support all individuals to:
Make informed choices
Participate in sporting, social, and recreational activities
Live in safe and positive environments
Grow, develop, and access and utilize resources
Achieve health and wellness throughout their lives
For many of the people we support, AADD means the difference between stability and homelessness; sickness and health; isolation and inclusion; discrimination and dignity."
