DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES

Goodwill assists individuals with developmental disabilities in overcoming barriers. We help them recognize and build on their strengths, enabling them to become more independent, productive, and integrated into the community.

Mental Retardation
Down's Syndrome

These disabilities must have manifested before the age of 22, and must create substantial limitation on major life activities.
