Program Description
We are working in partnership with families, local communities, and the Agency for Person with Disabilities, to ensure the safety, well being, and self-determination of individuals with Developmental Disabilities.
Monthly meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month in Fort Pierce. Contact Nancy Moody at 772-770-0683 for more information.
Families often feel they will lose their dream of self-sufficiency and independence for their children, when they receive a diagnosis of a developmental disability (DD) for their child. However, with proper support, both families and individuals with DD can thrive and achieve their chosen goals.
Caring people, that's what it takes! The Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD ) and our state and Federal government support the principles of inclusion, self-determination, community living, successful transition to adult life and integrated employment. New waivers and other funding streams are being sought, developed and revised to help these endeavors.
Collaboration is a powerful tool. If this philosophy is to succeed, families must be the driving force. Barriers must be identified and broken down and necessary programs and policies must be put in place. We must all work together for the benefit of all persons with developmental disabilities. Together we can make this happen.
