EnCompass (Children)
About
EnCompass Children & Youth supports children and youth with developmental disabilities and their families. Our Service Coordinators meet families where they are to address their unique needs, helping children and youth thrive at home, in school, and in their communities. We work alongside families to create a roadmap for their child’s future, ensuring they have the skills and support needed for a meaningful, independent life.
