SDAP prepares college-aged students with intellectual disabilities for personal growth and occupational success. The goal upon completion of the program is that students obtain competitive, integrated employment and live independent, fulfilling lives.
Your donation can empower our Scholars with Diverse Abilities, funding the program so that scholars can have the tools, resources, and personal support they need to transition into their self-directed futures.
