Promoting Independence Since 1998
PALS is dedicated to providing age appropriate support services for adults with special needs.
PALS is designed to assist individuals in achieving their goals and objectives in all areas of life. The aim of PALS is to respectfully and responsibly develop each consumer's program design to suit their individual needs, goals, and aspirations.
PALS does not operate as a special needs program in which consumers are categorized or grouped according to disability (within the organization and outside community), but rather, supports a true supported living philosophy. PALS faithfully adheres to the premise that individuals with disabilities, regardless of the nature of severity, can be successfully integrated into their surrounded community through supports (professional and natural), one-to-one instruction, and effective training techniques. Such supports are always age appropriate and directly related to a client's successful participation in community life.
