At L.A. GOAL we are like a family. We are educators – we are a bold and courageous community bound together by a common cause that has defined what we do for the last 50+ years. For more than five decades, L.A. GOAL has empowered adults with developmental disabilities to live healthy, productive, independent lives. Working with this community as long as we have, our methods for unlocking their full potential are tried and true.
Today, we’re taking our efforts one step further. By capturing all we’ve learned about bettering the lives of adults with developmental disabilities, we’re using it to offer society a new perspective on inclusion – one that demonstrates life is simply better when people with developmental disabilities are a part of it.
L.A. GOAL: Providing Services to Adults with Developmental Disabilities in Los Angeles since 1969.
OUR GOAL: Making Life Better, Together.
