From One Parent to Another
Supporting Independence and Communication for an Adult with an Intellectual Disability
When our son moved into a group home at 35 years old, we hoped he would gain more independence and confidence in his daily life. Allied Therapy helped us create a personalized support plan that worked for him and his care team at the group home.
