AMAS provide services to children and adults with intellectual / developmental disabilities, autism and behavioral challenges. Because of these factors, these individuals often exhibit multiple and complex needs for services and are unwelcome in family settings and traditional foster-care settings. We utilize behavior programs that emphasize positive reinforcement of adaptive behaviors. We aim to teach and maintain useful skills that allow the individuals to maximize their independence in the home and in the community.

AMAS recognizes that without residential stability and/or in home services for these individuals, it prohibits the development of lasting friendships and ties to the community. Our focused effort is to help these individuals build a place in the community in which they can live safely and productively, with renewed hope for and commitment to a better future for themselves.

AMAS Inc. strongly believes that people can Function, Grow and Develop when provided with the necessary Materials, Emotional and Social Supports and Validation to live stable positive lives.
