Who We Are
Ardmore is a person-first-oriented, non-profit service and advocacy organization whose primary goal is to promote and protect the human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and actively support their full inclusion and participation in the communities they choose to be a part of. We believe that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are valued members of our communities. So, we aim to provide the highest quality community-based, person-centered services to those we support so that they can live the lives they choose for themselves.
Our Mission is to empower people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
What We Do
Ardmore provides an array of services that support people with IDD to live, work and thrive in their chosen communities. We provide services and supports that create pathways to active community engagement that gives people opportunities to contribute in meaningful ways while developing new skills, exploring new interests, and building friendships and relationships. Full community inclusion and integration is the goal. Our services promote increased social connections and opportunities while encouraging autonomy in decision-making.
