Independence Wasn’t Always an Option
We believe that independence is essential for adults with developmental disabilities to lead full, productive, happy lives. It wasn’t that long ago that mental institutions were used to house people who were different. Today, we can still see obstacles to independence including budget cuts in California and nationwide that affect the level of services provided to people with developmental disabilities.
 
With a strong network of support, we can continue to advocate for independence and the rights of people with developmental disabilities. We can also continue to provide direct services to the hundreds of people in Orange County that participate in our job placement, independent living, adult development and behavior programs.
 
You can help us spread the word through our Share Independence Campaign, sharing both your stories of how Project Independence has helped you and your family, and sharing our story with your friends and family.The more people we can reach with our message, the more independence we can share!
