The videos on their webpage provide useful information about PDD (Persons with Developmental Disabilities), AISH (Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped), Guardianship & Trusteeship. These videos are offered to help families feel less stressed and more confident as their children with disabilities enter adulthood.
