Adelante Services
Adelante was formed in 1978, a time when ideas such as independence, rights, choice and respect were emerging. The agency embraced those concepts and decided to make a real difference in the lives of people with disabilities. Since then, Adelante has taken the opportunity to expand services as needs have arisen. Today, the agency offers residential support, therapy services, employment opportunities, and a variety of individualized services for people with mental and physical disabilities.
