Greetings:
Electronically speaking, you have just landed on a Website that is dedicated to providing visitors with helpful information regarding support and services for people with developmental disabilities. Merrick has chosen a montage of old compasses as our logo to demonstrate that we are an experienced company that continues to be a pathfinder for those seeking to explore new horizons. We think of you as a "traveler" and suggest that to explore Merrick's Website you choose the path that best meets your needs.
Merrick, Inc., is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services as a Day Training & Habilitation (DT&H) and Supported Employment Services (SES) provider. Merrick is also an approved Ticket To Work (TTW) Employer Network and can provide Flexible Case Management services. We are dedicated to serving adults with developmental disabilities by providing supports that offer meaningful vocational options, enhance personal skills, empower self-advocacy, and expand participation in the community. Merrick's vocational options include on the job training, independent placements, and working on a crew. These options can be based off-site at the location of a community business partner, within Merrick’s building, or both. Most of the clients in our program have a primary diagnosis of mental retardation with secondary diagnoses that include: autism; cerebral palsy; epilepsy; hearing impaired/deaf; mental illness; nonambulatory; nonverbal; seizure disorders; sight impaired/blind; special dietary concerns (e.g. G-Tubes, dietary restrictions, modified diets, etc.); and other related conditions. Merrick is located in Vadnais Heights, Minnesota and we can usually provide rides from home to work and back again through our transportation division.
