Through our partnerships with West Union Art Studios and the Burleson House, participants have opportunities to showcase their artwork, collaborate with professional artists, and take part in community events. These experiences connect individuals to the wider community and highlight their unique talents and contributions.
The Signature Day Program is more than an activity center, it’s a space where creativity, personal development, and meaningful inclusion come together to support a fulfilling life.

Alternative Family Living
Our Alternative Family Living (AFL) program offers adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities the opportunity to live in a safe, supportive, and family-style home within the community.
Each individual is carefully interviewed, and eligibility is screened to ensure the best placement for their needs, interests, and personal goals. AFL homes provide stability, meaningful relationships, and daily support that encourages independence and connection.
AFL providers are thoughtfully recruited, fully screened, and professionally credentialed. They receive training and ongoing guidance to ensure the adults in their homes are cared for with dignity, compassion, and respect.
