We work with individuals and their family members to design the type and amount of support needed to help increase independence and realize dreams. CLS supports are intended to complement, not replace the natural supports provided by family, friends and community members. The CLS support team acts as a bridge for people with disability to make new friends, learn the skills needed to get meaningful work, live more independently and achieve personal goals. Founded in the late 1970’s by a group of family members of children with disability, CLS combines the values, leadership and advocacy of our past, with innovative and individual approaches to providing residential and community inclusion support services.
