On-the-Move Community Integration - assisting adults with special needs

On-the-Move is a small nonprofit supporting adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in accessing their community through healthful, meaningful, and environmentally responsible activities.

We're a 'community-based' program: Most programs are site-based, where participants spend hours indoors doing different activities. On-the-Move has an office space where participants meet, but we do not stay there. We go into the community for every appointment. That’s why our program is so unique.

Participants who choose On-the-Move understand they will be encouraged to make healthful choices. When planning the day’s activities, staff encourage participants to consider healthful and environmentally responsible options. For example, rather than a visit to a mall or a fast food restaurant, we encourage exploring activities such hiking, taking a community yoga class, or volunteering—activities that promote the well-being of the individual, our community, and the earth.

We envision a society that relies upon the diverse experiences of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities — a society that sees neurodiversity as fundamental to a strong community.

We're always looking for new partners, and would love to hear from you.
