What We Do
Community Participation
Community Participation is a service provided that assists and supports adults with accessing their community. People are assisted with community involvement and are encouraged to expand their preferred activity interests, as well as learning new skills, and developing new and meaningful relationships. Adults are supported in a wide variety of activities that meet their own interest, skill set, and needs. Activities include visiting libraries, parks, museums, aquariums, festivals, going out to eat, shopping, going to movies, staying in the mountains, and much much more!
Employment Services
Tennessee is an employment first state, which means that employment is the preferred option for people receiving disability services. Tennessee has an Employment First Task Force that meets regularly on behalf of ensuring that adults with disabilities have opportunities for employment. Supported Employment assists adults who are not retirement age based on each person’s needs and preferences.
