Individuals in our care need help in their daily living skills such as self-care, communication, community participation and others so that they can increase their independence, thus reducing their dependence on staff and family members for daily living tasks. We provide training programs for individuals we serve to gain skills in communication, socialization and community integration. Lending Hands urges family members to get help for their loved one with developmental disabilities as early as possible. When proper developmental millstone care and attention are given in the early years of the child, there are higher chances of successful treatment.
