Group Leader:

Our mission is to provide excellent services and programs to families regardless of income or ability to pay.
At the ADL Center, family comes first and is an integral part of the programs and services to be provided. Providing unique and comprehensive therapies, educational opportunities and job training for individuals with special needs is our main objective.

Our vision at the ADL Center is to provide a place where families can go to receive care for loved ones in a warm, and enriching environment. We see families coming together to receive therapy from our excellent staff of clinicians in one location. No more shuffling between doctors for different services, we want to make it easier on the average family to multi task the many varied therapies necessary to independent living.
We envision a place to take your family for more than therapy. We see a place to educate family members to the maze that is the educational system, the legal system and different methodologies available to families. We see families able to get together for support groups, siblings included in therapies whenever possible, before and after school care as well as a specialized preschool for families to get back into the work force confident in the care their special needs children are receiving.

The ADL Center will bring back family time with a specialized movie theatre, an indoor swimming pool and gaming area for everyone to enjoy in an environment that is designed to promote self confidence, build socialization skills and create lasting friendships for all ages. Our grounds will have a fishing pond and picnic area as well as a greenhouse and garden to provide outside activities and promote environmental awareness and create job opportunities.

We care enough to create a place you can call your own. A place you visit for more than the medical necessities, a place for your family to enjoy and feel welcomed, respected and valued.
