18 and Beyond Special Services

18 and Beyond Special Services is dedicated to empowering young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities as they transition from high school into adulthood. Serving individuals aged 18 and beyond, this organization focuses on fostering independence through a comprehensive Vocational, Transitional, and Day Habilitation Program. The core mission emphasizes the inherent worth of each person, advocating for a fulfilling life through tailored instruction that meets diverse learning needs. With a strong commitment to teaching self-determination and self-advocacy skills across four essential domains—Education and Training, Employment, Community Orientation, and Independent Living—participants engage in real-life experiences that enhance their capabilities. The unique approach combines vocational rehabilitation services with supportive employment opportunities, all within a structured and safe environment that encourages active participation. What sets 18 and Beyond Special Services apart is its emphasis on positive behavioral approaches, low student-to-teacher ratios, and strong family partnerships, creating a respectful atmosphere where individuals are equipped to reach their fullest potential.
