is Partnering with Empower U
We are very excited to announce our new partnership with Empower U. Empower U is a learning organization that provides state funded services to children with Developmental Disabilities. All services are paid through the state and only require a one time application process via Perform Care. All families who have children that are considered DD eligible, can take advantage of services ranging from ABA, IIC/IIH, and Respite.  

To get started please fill out the survey below to get a better understanding of what services your child/s will need. An Empower U representative will reach out to further discuss your needs and availability. We look forward to serving our community with this new endeavor!
