An estimated 1 in 6 people are born with a developmental disability. Just like all of us, they are born with hopes, dreams and the drive to contribute to society. Founded in 1981, Toward Maximum Independence (TMI) has transformed thousands of lives by providing assistance to children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), giving them the ability to realize their hopes and dreams. At TMI we are advocates for the belief that disability does not mean inability. Independence and self-responsibility are fostered by respect for the individual’s autonomy and by empowering them to make informed decisions.
