Welcome to Life Development Institute

Our Mission

Provide innovative experiential learning and a practical, supportive transition process to adult living.

Who We Serve
Young men and women between the ages of 18-30 who have cognitive, emotional, or neurological conditions such as learning disabilities, ADHD, Asperger’s Syndrome, NLD, depression, anxiety and other related disorders.

The Institute is dedicated to providing its students an abilities-based program offering opportunities to challenge themselves to learn, take healthy risks, and grow emotionally, functionally, and professionally.

 

Our Program Focus and Philosophy
LDI’s instruction, community linkages, employability and career development strategies relate to the actual marketplace conditions of the world of work and daily requirements of adult living. Thus, they are not purely academic, disability-oriented, or treatment-centered in focus. Rather, the class and community approach used by LDI embraces personal development/competency through and in the adult community.

We collaborate and develop strategic partnerships with local and national organizations. Two dynamic examples of these community alliances that I proudly invite you to view are Jobing.com and the Diversity Leadership Alliance. These organizations are actively engaged with the Life Development Institute to ensure that our students are full partners in building an inclusive community.
