Michael is striving towards independence

Michael, who has lived in a Foundling residence since 2014, has made great strides in his path toward independence and personal growth. With the help of caring staff both at his home and within our Day Habilitation program, he has overcome behavioral challenges over the past 6 years, and is now taking charge of his future. He enjoys watching movies, spending time with housemates and staff, and is taking on progressively harder tasks around the home, including yard work, grocery shopping, and cleaning. Michael continues to grow and pursue new opportunities and interests, and he’s also actively looking for a full time job.
