For twenty years, Elim Christian Services has been serving adults with disabilities. Most people think of Elim as a wonderful school for children with disabilities, but those children grow up, and many of them continue to need Elim once they've graduated.
Today, we have 251 children in the school, and just under 200 adults in our Adult Services programs. The programs we have for adults are just as challenging and have just as big an impact as do our programs for children.
There are many challenges involved in serving adults with disabilities, and one of our biggest is simply this: Do we challenge our adults with worthwhile activities, or do we engage in nursing care that simply takes care of their most pressing needs?
I think you know where Elim stands on this, but you'll be surprised where that stance has taken us.
Be back here soon with the next installment...
