About us

We aim to enhance the quality of life for individuals diagnosed with disabilities and provide support for their families

A community-based organization established in 2002

In early 2002, a group of professionals from varying cultural backgrounds collaborated on how to best serve and support individuals with developmental disabilities as well as their families. At that time, we found that in low socio-economic communities that were mostly composed of immigrants, many were generally under-served. It appeared that these individuals shied away from services because of cultural and linguistic barriers. This reality was fundamental in the group’s decision to form Elmy’s Special Services, an organization that provides quality and comprehensive services to individuals and caretakers.

Providing quality support for a better quality of life

The primary focus of Elmy’s Special Services, Inc. was to ensure that the individual would not only be protected and safeguarded, but also be afforded the greatest opportunity to develop. To do so, we focused on goal-oriented projects, which include personal care and services, along with meaningful educational activities.

Today, Elmy’s Special Services, Inc. provides services on an individualized basis. We also emphasize the importance of public policy and advocacy to champion the rights of individuals diagnosed with disabilities.

Mission

We believe that every person, regardless of his or her race, ethnicity, or disability, should be treated with dignity and respect. Because of this belief, we will ensure that every person will achieve his or her full potential through appropriate and individualized programming.

Vision

Our vision is to be a community where families of children with disabilities have the information, resources, and support they need to make informed choices for the health of their children. We also envisioned a world where individuals with disabilities are recognized by their abilities, not by their disabilities.
