What are Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities Services?

Merakey’s Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities (IDD) Services support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to enhance their abilities and interests. We partner with individuals as they become self-sufficient and live everyday lives. Merakey helps individuals find meaningful roles in their community and to feel valued as community members.

OUR PRIORITIES ARE TO ENCOURAGE INDEPENDENCE AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT.

How do we do this?

  • Continued transition from facilities to housing and community services:
    - Life-sharing
    - Employment services
  • Emphasis on technology supporting engagement and improvement in quality of life

There are three specific programs where your philanthropic dollars could make an immediate impact.
