Developmental Disability Services Overview
Aspire’s developmental disability services are based on each individual’s needs, preferences, and goals. Individuals take an active role in developing their support plans so services remain person-centered and focused on helping them live successfully in the community.
Individuals may receive services through the Day Program, Residential Program, or both. Referrals are handled through the DBHDD Region IV office in Thomasville at 1-877-683-8557.
