Toward Maximum Independence

Toward Maximum Independence (TMI) is a nonprofit agency that assists children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and veterans with disabilities. TMI works with individuals to achieve their lifelong goals; to live in their own homes in the community, to secure paid employment by working in “real jobs for real pay” and to maintain family unity or assure that all children are part of a caring family. We accomplish this by providing supports tailored to meet their individual needs. TMI looks forward to a time when all people, including those most vulnerable, will be naturally accepted and included in community life. Until that time, TMI will continue to provide vital supports to those whose quality of life depends on it.
