COMMUNITY SUPPORTS PROGRAM

Community Supports is Via's newest program, and provides adults (18 years and over) with counseling and training relative to community service participation.  The program educates potential partners (existing community service groups) about the prevalence of developmental disabilities, misconceived notions, and the importance of inclusive experiences which benefit, not just the individuals with disabilities, but also the community.  The program is a means to encourage volunteerism in the lives of people with developmental disabilities and to encourage the community to accept them in this valuable role.
