Everyone deserves
the right to design a life they love.

Today’s life expectancy of a person with an intellectual disability is 60 years old—up 240% since 1983, when it was only 35.


And yet, most services for those with intellectual disabilities, like Down Syndrome, drop off when they’re just 22.



That leaves 40 years unaccounted for.

We want to change that.

We connected with adults living with disabilities, their families, caregivers, support coordinators, day program leaders, researchers, and so many others to hear about their lived experience.

It was clear, there is so much more that can be done to support this space AND there’s lots of excitement to come together to do it.

Here’s how we’re tackling the gap:

  • Increasing Access to Resources

    Compiling and sharing resources for adults with intellectual disabilities as they navigate life after the “support cliff” at 22.

  • Co-Creating New Solutions

    Imagining and supporting the creation of new solutions for adults with disabilities and their families and those that support them.

  • Connecting Dots in the Ecosystem

    Bringing people together (e.g., day program leaders, support coordinators) to share knowledge and strengthen relationships.
