Arts of Life, Inc. advocates for exceptional services for adults with developmental disabilities. We do this by providing an innovative, person-centered program within the studio, where we work to meet each individual’s needs. We also strive for the support of our legislators in raising the bar for all services available to adults with developmental disabilities.
We continue to meet with and/or write letters to our representatives regarding the issue of accessible transportation for adults with developmental disabilities.
