Supported Living Program

Advocates of Alvord-Taylor's Independent Living Program work cooperatively with developmentally disabled adults who live independently in the community. Services are tailored to meet individual's particular needs, from personal health management to accessing community resources and abilities, while respecting and accommodating their lifestyles.
