The residential services program supports our mission of providing quality services for people with intellectual disabilities, to help them live as independently as possible. We support individuals in their homes, as well as providing transportation for medical, community and social appointments. LISTEN supports adults and children in the community with opportunities for community engagement and events as well as home living skills.
