Thrive Life Skills & Community Development Programs
Many young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) need more hands-on support than traditional programs offer. Thrive’s Life Skills programs are designed to build the essential tools for independent or semi-independent living.
Delivered primarily in community settings and supported by DDA Medicaid Waiver funding, our programs focus on:
Time management
Social and communication skills
Career and volunteer exploration
Situational awareness
Money management
We meet each individual where they are, helping them grow with confidence and
purpose.
