ADVANCE

We also provide services to people who have conditions caused by accident, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, or diseases such as muscular dystrophy. ADVANCE supports people in self-direction through person-centered plans aimed at achieving the outcomes people want for their lives. In order to achieve those outcomes, ADVANCE provides a wid... e array of services at a variety of levels to support people at home, at work and within their community. ADVANCE employs over 200 people working in a variety of areas all focused on fulfilling our mission and vision through person-centered services and supports. The support provided by Direct Support Professionals lays the foundation in making sure people are living the lives they want. Direct Support Professionals are essential to providing education, experience and exposure to the world around us, as well as advocating for the people they support. ADVANCE supports, encourages, and actively seeks connections and personal relationships in our community, building the social capital that is so essential in providing the services we do. In addition to volunteering in the community in a variety of ways, we provide numerous educational experiences to students at SDSU, including internships. In all these things, we are working towards our mission to "offer opportunities for people to live their lives to the fullest". Brian ArdryRead More
