Accessing quality therapy can be challenging for individuals with disabilities, as many providers may hesitate to work with those who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. At Inclusion Consultants LLC, we welcome all clients and believe everyone deserves a voice in their care. With patience and expertise, we empower clients and their families to take charge of their life plans. We provide the necessary knowledge and resources to navigate complex systems confidently, from special education for children to Social Security for adults. Our goal is to equip you with the skills to manage your support system independently after a period of collaboration.
Our approach is to work with clients for a limited time. You'll come away knowing how to manage your support system themselves.
