Developmental Disabilities

A different path to independence

Goodwill Easterseals Miami Valley is the area leader in services for individuals with Developmental Disabilities.  Our programs focus on individualized and meaningful opportunities by meeting individuals where they are to belong, contribute, thrive, and have fun. 

Individualized and Meaningful Opportunities

All of our programs promote personal growth through a variety of community activities and interactions. The individualized programs are initially built by completing person-centered planning with individuals and their teams to determine what is important to and for the individual.
