WCDMV empowers people with disabilities to live independently and with dignity. Its adult clients have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, autism, Down syndrome, invisible disabilities, and other intellectual and developmental disabilities. Many also experience poverty, unemployment, discrimination, and neglect. When they enter the doors of WCDMV’s center, they are greeted warmly and invited to participate in meaningful activities. Each client develops a care plan based on their needs and desires, as well as age, medical stability, psychological status, and cultural diversity. Center staff support them through various social, physical, educational, and recreational activities, engage them in day outings, and administer medical treatment if needed. Outside of the center, WCDMV provides day support in residential communities, building individuals’ social connections and life skills. For WCDMV, every person is valued and deserves care.
