These services include family support and supported employment in Fulton County, service coordination in DeKalb County, and collaborative recreational programs throughout Metropolitan Atlanta. A psychological evaluation is required to determine eligibility for family support and supported employment. We believe people with developmental disabilities have a right to full inclusion in the community and work toward giving these individuals the same opportunities and choices as all citizens. We believe their decisions should govern their lives, their work, with whom they socialize, and what services they receive. We work with individuals to find opportunities for full and active participation in the community.
Family support is critical in the lives of all citizens.
We support individuals and family members in learning to be advocates in their own lives. AADD's outreach specialists and service coordinators are individuals with a strong commitment to consumer and family choice and to a consumer's presence and participation in the community. AADD employees are carefully screened to assure their training and experience meet state and regional standards. AADD is accredited by the Council on Quality and Leadership in Supports for People with Disabilities. Explore with people their dreams and experiences.
