Independence Through GRACE

Independence Through GRACE At GRACE, we believe every person is a child of GOD who deserves to be valued, accepted and respected.

We help adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities grow in independence by providing faith-based programs that empower participants to see themselves as valuable contributors to their community. Adults who participate in our faith-based enrichment program are offered a variety of activities that suit their personal interests. Session activities are designed to enhance social skills, spiritual depth and understanding, physical mobility and creative talents. Our staff works to discover each person’s strengths, with the ultimate goal of assisting our participants in reaching their maximum potential while they gain confidence in their abilities.

Kinzie has grown in so many ways (spiritually, creatively, emotionally), but one HUGE change we've seen in Kinzie is her growth socially. When she first came to ITG, she was shy and closed off - now she's confident in who she is, loves to meet new people, and hang out with the friends she's made here💕
