Who We Are

Beyond BASIC assists people with intellectual disabilities to achieve fulfillment beyond the basics by developing independent living skills.

Adults with intellectual disabilities have historically been kept in a box, while everyone else assumes what they can and cannot do. Many people make generalized assumptions about what these individuals will be able to do in life, how they act, how they learn, how they look, etc. The Beyond BASIC team believes that everyone deserves the opportunity and applicable resources necessary to achieve their own definition of a fulfilled, independent life.
