Ambitions Careers in Long Beach, CA

We started supporting people with developmental disabilities in 1992, with a small group of people who were discharged from a state institution as part of a downsizing effort in Washington State. To many, this group of people was considered a test case on the validity of community supports. Half of this group consisted of people with significant medical needs, while the other half consisted of people with significant behavioral support needs. Many professionals at the institution predicted failure within the first three months. Now, years later, those same people continue to live and work in the community.
