28 A life filled with ups and downs comes with being able to truly be a productive member of the community in which they live. Where the individuals we support have an intellectual or developmental disability, this drives us to work tirelessly with them to reach their goals. These goals are taken seriously by all of the more than 700 employees who serve over 1,000 individuals in the South Shore Area.

Each one is designed around the needs and interests of the individuals residing in the program. Every resident has a person-centered plan that is developed around all of his/her needs.
