A Meaningful Life

Services for adults with developmental disabilities have changed a lot over the years. In the past, adults had limited options on how they spent their day - they could learn employment skills in a workshop alongside their peers, or they could attend a center for day habilitation services. In 2016 we closed our day habilitation center, as many services for adults were provided in the community, not without our walls. This video highlights how Joel spends his day. Joel is leading a meaningful life, and his days are spent doing what he wants to do: he's out in the community working and volunteering.

What happens to the adults who do not have the ability to participate in any employment services?
