Student Application

Who We Serve

Our students are individuals with mild developmental and intellectual disabilities between the ages of 8 and 40 who are working towards obtaining community-based employment and living independently with minimal supports. 

Acceptance into the PawsAbilities Employment Program is offered to young adults ages 18+ who are interested in skills training and community-based employment.

Acceptance & Denial

Inclusion Connections will strive to make reasonable accommodations whenever possible.
