Our Mission
Supporting young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities toward their best life!
Person-centered Transition Planning
By listening to individuals and their families, we will help them to create a plan for an individual's future success and write great transition goals while still in school.
Lifelong Learning Opportunities
Young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities need chances to continue to develop their daily living skills, soft skills for employment and community inclusion, and literacy. Assistive Technology for communication and daily living may be explored to reach individual goals.
Community Inclusion
By fostering partnerships in the community for activities, we will provide training for businesses and faith communities in the inclusion of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
ADMH and DEF partner to host
webinar series for parents and adult siblings on topics that need to be addressed as an individual with a disability transitions from school to adult living. SSI, Medicaid, waivers, Legal matters, STABLE accounts, and more from the experts! Register at theadmh.org

Community Partnerships
Gwinnett County Public Library and the Dunamis Educational Foundation were honored by the Philadelphia Winn chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution for "Outstanding Work in Literacy Promotion" for Open Your World Book Club. Many thanks for all the librarians who facilitate, especially Regina Fallon who coordinates the clubs at different library branches.
Open Your World Book Club
We are excited to let you know that there will be 3-4 sessions of Book Club each week. These sessions will be held in partnership with the Gwinnett County Public Library at different times so more of our friends can be involved. You are welcome to attend more than one session each week if you would like.
