Show Notes
Erin Ryan, Executive Director of Shore Community Services, Joins The Ray Stevens Show to discusses the organization's 75-year history of supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. She explains how Shore was founded in 1949 by parents who resisted the then-common practice of institutionalization, starting a school in their basement to provide their daughter and others with a community-based life.
They highlight Shore's growth into a comprehensive service provider that now offers vocational training, employment placement, and residential programs for individuals throughout their lifespan, including aging seniors. Ryan also emphasizes the importance of community inclusion and invites interested employers and volunteers to connect with their mission through their website.
