Overview

EVERY PERSON IS BLESSED WITH A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE; complete with their own unique skills and talents. Those with developmental disabilities are no different. They are students, athletes, employees, volunteers and family members in our community, with just as much to offer as the rest of us. Often, social and physical barriers prevent them from fully participating in community life. CLOC helps people live the life that they envision for themselves.
