Community Living, Inc. (CLI) is a nonprofit in Frederick, MD that offers services to people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities — like autism or Down syndrome. We offer supports in every area of daily living that adults need; for example, job coaching and placement, tasks of daily living, activities, doctor’s appointments, and retirement. We believe that everyone is capable and worthy of inclusion, regardless of ability level, and we exist to act as the support system the people we serve need in order to live full, meaningful lives in our community.

The Howard County Autism Society is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide support, promote awareness and advocate for change on behalf of individuals with autism, their families and community.

For almost 60 years, Ivymount has created nationally recognized programs and partnerships for people with autism and other developmental disabilities as well as their families.  The goal in all our programs is to help children, students, and young adults achieve their highest level of development and independence.  In addition to creating our own education and outreach programs, Ivymount forms partnerships with other organizations and researchers, often functioning as a training site, to ensure that our innovative and intensive approach is widely disseminated and influences the larger field of special education and support services.
