Some people are born with a disability and have a hard time doing things you may find easy.  These may be signs of a developmental disability.

Developmental disabilities appear before someone is 22 years old.  Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Downs Syndrome, or any other intellectual disability.  These are types of development disabilities.

If someone you know has a development disability, Shiawassee Health & Wellness may be able to help provide supports and services to achieve a life they want to live.  Maybe it is becoming more independent, getting involved in the community or getting a job, we are here to help make those dreams and goals a reality. Members of the SHW team will help you and your chosen support system, including family, guardians, or friend, to make a Person-Centered Plan that will guide the services and supports needed to reach those goals.
