Creating a path to inclusion
At eitas, our mission is to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families. We provide services that honor choices, expand opportunities and encourage independence. We recognize the challenges of navigating life with a disability and we are committed to bridging the gaps for various audiences in our community.
For Parents and Guardians
We understand that parents and guardians play a crucial role in the lives of individuals with I/DD. We are here to help navigate the complexities of available resources, ensuring that the information you need is accessible and clear. Our trained advocates provide guidance and personalized support, helping families understand their options and connect with essential services. By fostering a well-informed community, we empower parents to advocate effectively for their loved ones, closing the gaps between where they are and where they want to be.
For Individuals with I/DD
Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities are at the heart of our mission. Our support services are designed to foster independence and inclusion. We provide dedicated transportation services in Jackson County, transforming transportation from a barrier into a means of opportunity. We’re committed to redefining what transportation means in our community, ensuring access to not just day programs but also the everyday activities that enrich life, from haircuts to adventures. Our team coordinates support for nearly 2,000 individuals daily, ensuring they can access the resources they need to lead fulfilling lives and pursue their dreams.
For Service Providers
Collaboration with service providers strengthens the support network for individuals with I/DD. We step into the role of connectors, helping providers navigate the often fragmented landscape of funded services. Our workshops and training on developmental disabilities enhance understanding and improve the quality of care across the sector. By linking providers with essential resources, we create a network where individuals with I/DD can receive the support they deserve.
For Community Leaders
In partnership with community leaders we strive to build a more inclusive society. We engage in community outreach, educating the public about the issues facing individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our outreach efforts educate the public on the experiences of individuals with I/DD, connecting them with local resources and advocating for their rights. Our investment in quality-of-life programs reflects our belief in the potential of every individual. Together with community leaders, we can champion a future where inclusion is the norm and everyone has the opportunity to pursue their dreams.
Together for an Inclusive Future
We work to be more than a service provider, we are a movement dedicated to empowering individuals with I/DD, their families, service providers and community leaders. Through our comprehensive support services, including transportation, expert coordination, education and outreach, we help create a community where every person can envision and pursue a meaningful, independent life. Every step of your journey matters to us. Let’s work together to build a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
