This is about MRDD clients functioning in our society, like you and me. Getting out of the house or group home, feeling responsible and having adult decisions. After all, for most of these individuals, this is the only social outlet they have. They deserve to be as functional as possible. It is unfortunate our economy has fallen so low to affect the little amount of monies it requires to provide this opportunity in these lives!
