NTEE Code: P82: Developmentally Disabled Centers

MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Our mission is to support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities by advocating for their rights and dignity, providing person-centered services and programs, and ensuring their independence through meaningful work, living conditions, and access to the community.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

Our vision is to create a better quality of life and level of independence for adults living with disabilities by teaching valuable life skills through individualized employment, community-based outings, and living opportunities.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Residential Services Residential: Supported Living model provides 24 hour staff in a home with 1-2 roommates. Family-based: the individual lives with a family in their home. This is similar to adult foster care. Production Center The production center has transformed from a supported workshop, which closed 12/31/18, to serve as pre-vocational training as well as a meeting place for our adults with disabilities to leave for community-based day outings, such as to local community centers, museums, bowling, movies, shopping, and many other activities. Community Based Program The people we support choose how they want to spend their days in the community and are transported and supervised by New Horizons staff. Examples include the Nashville Zoo, movies, bowling, activities at community centers, mini-golf, and many others. Employment Our employment specialist works with each person to discover their employment goals and experience and helps them through the Vocational Rehabilitation process, ultimately resulting in a job placement. Follow up and job coaching help the person retain the position and excel.
