Independence & Innovation

Leading the Way with Inclusion and Innovation

Adults with developmental disabilities are living longer, and the population is growing—all while traditional support methods are shrinking.

LADD is guided by the belief that every person has ability and value. Since 1975, we have empowered adults with developmental disabilities to live, work and connect through housing and employment programs, community engagement and advocacy.

Today, LADD is poised to take a leap into the future, to continue to innovate so that every person has the opportunity to live their best life and thrive together!
