Intellectual/Developmental
Disabilities & Autism

WJCS provides a comprehensive continuum of care for people with disabilities and their families. Agency programs and extensive partnerships support individuals and their families throughout the life cycle and during transition periods to reach their potential, enhance their strengths, and live as independently as possible within supportive communities. A wide range of specialized services include residential and independent living programs, service coordination, therapeutic social skills, recreational and support groups, clinical services, assessment and remediation services, programs to help people who are home-bound or disabled connect with others, and respite and support for caregivers.
