Make a Difference
At Independence Association and Spindleworks, we believe that every individual, regardless of their abilities, deserves a chance to thrive and participate fully in our communities. Each day, we provide vital services that empower individuals with developmental disabilities to live independently, build meaningful connections, and achieve their personal goals. Together, we will continue to build a brighter future for adults and children with disabilities.
