Services
Community Independence Program
Fundamental to the Community Independence Program is the belief that individuals with developmental disabilities can and should be given the opportunity to determine the content and character of the service they receive, identify the goals to which they aspire, and choose the individuals that would provide them with assistance in identifying and attaining their goals.
