In addition, he or she will build self-esteem and confidence while making new and lasting friendships.
“Here, you can turn your disabilities into capabilities.”
Saba Silverman“Living in Atlanta all of our lives, we have witnessed first hand the true progress the MJCCA has made in providing services for the developmentally disabled. This process never ends, but we are very fortunate to be beneficiaries of this wonderful programming. Our son is an example of the results this program can achieve. He has become an actor, an athlete, a world traveler, a dinner companion, a party person, and much more, but his confidence and smile are our gift. Thank you.” Marguerite & Ronnie MerlinDevelopmental Disabilities
