Plan for adulthood for your teen with developmental disabilities... Begin with the January session on Housing with TRAILS in 2018!

Advancing Choices, Inc. is a private organization committed to assisting young adults with a wide spectrum of needs to move into supportive and uniquely tailored community living arrangements. Working with families, we implement a structure that is adaptable and dynamic to the unique needs of each client we serve.  Individuals have their own needs, desires and outcomes they wish to have fulfilled and achieved.  We listen, understand, assess and develop individualized independent living plans with appropriate supports to ensure these fundamental goals are met.
