Meet Israel đź’™

Not long ago, Israel preferred to stay disengaged and didn’t show much interest in activities. Today, his journey looks very different.

Israel has discovered a love for golf and chair yoga—two activities that keep him active, build confidence, and connect him with his community. These moments may seem small, but they represent something powerful: growth, joy, and possibility.

This Autism Awareness & Acceptance Month, we want to give a special thank you to our incredible staff—especially our DSPs—who go above and beyond every day to support, encourage, and uplift the individuals we serve. Your dedication makes stories like Israel’s possible.

At KenCCID, our individuals are everything. We are committed to person-centered, individualized support that meets each person where they are—and helps them grow into who they want to be.

✨ Because everyone deserves a life full of possibilities.

The day was filled with great food, music, and dancing—but most importantly, meaningful conversations. Our individuals shared what self-advocacy means to them, creating a powerful and inspiring space for everyone involved.

🎬✨ Movie Night at KenCCID!

Last week, our individuals came together for a fun and meaningful movie night, watching Wonder—a powerful story about courage, resilience, and overcoming life’s challenges. 💛

At KenCCID, moments like these remind us why our individuals thrive. We create spaces where they have choices, use their voices, and build the confidence to live independently.

Because when people are supported and empowered, they shine. 🌟

🌟 Sara’s Voice: Advocacy in Action 🌟

This Disability Awareness Month, we celebrate the power of speaking up—and Sara is the perfect example of what that looks like in action.

Sara reminds us that leadership begins with using your voice. Every day, she advocates for herself with confidence, courage, and determination. Through her voice, she continues to build her independence and inspire those around her to do the same.

Today, we are proud to celebrate Sara not only as a strong self-advocate, but as the newly appointed President of the Advisory Board at KenCCID

Her journey shows us something powerful: leaders are everyday people—people like you, me, and Sara.

Let’s come together to support and uplift Sara in her new role. Her voice matters. Her story matters. And just like Sara, you have the power to lead.

🌟Celebrating Connection During Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month

It was truly a pleasure connecting with the community at The Bridgeway School. We were honored to speak with their students, staff, and community members during Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month.

The students courageously shared their personal stories, and the KenCCID team had the opportunity to share ours as well. Moments like these remind us how powerful storytelling can be in building understanding, inclusion, and community.

We are deeply grateful to Erin and her wonderful team for creating this meaningful opportunity for connection and learning.

History

Kensington Community Corporation for Individual Dignity was conceptualized by several Philadelphia Families from the Kensington area of the city, some of whom had family members who were developmentally disabled. At the time of its founding, the era of court ordered de-institutionalization for the mentally ill into boarding homes and other unsupported environments was just beginning. Recognizing a need for services, these concerned Kensington residents worked diligently to form a non-profit corporation that would provide the quality lifestyle their loved ones deserved.

The charter for the Agency was signed in 1974, with its first Community Living Arrangement (CLA) opening in 1977. At the time of its opening, KenCCID welcomed three individuals from families and three from the infamous Pennhurst state institution (see video). The agency designed its support under the principles of Normalization and later enhanced their services with Person Centered Planning using Personal Outcome Measures.

Since then, KenCCID has worked diligently to provide people with developmental and intellectual disabilities the skills necessary to achieve the outcomes they want in their lives. The people we support are encouraged to provide for their own self-care, become responsible citizens and live a quality life as independently as possible.
