Location: Westbrook,
Country:
Description: Choices Are For Everyone, Inc. is a nonprofit agency offering home supports and community supports to children and adults with intellectual disabilities and autism. CAFE focuses upon the needs, wants, wishes, and desires of each person we serve, in relation to their community environment. We sincerely believe that each person we serve has the right to live their life without restrictions, constraints, and controls being placed upon them. Every person should be offered a wide variety of choices in life and that is what we strive for on a daily basis.

The focus of CAFE is to provide personalized community based services to people with developmental disabilities. We see a whole universe and all of its possibilities in the eyes of each person we meet. We focus on the wants, wishes, and desires of each individual. We start with the person and build the program around them. CAFE provides a setting where essential lifestyle choices are met. Choice is a very important word at CAFE. People do not have to conform to a setting which they do not fit. CAFE helps people discover their choices and then helps to have their choices honored. The focus is not on changing people, but on understanding them.
