"Your team is making
a difference." Sherrie Kenny, Client Parent
Merrick, Inc., is dedicated to serving
adults with developmental disabilities by offering a full
array of services that offer meaningful vocational options,
enhance personal skills, empower choice making abilities,
and expand participation in the community.
Most of the clients in our program have
a primary diagnosis of mental retardation (approximately
48%, 25%, 19%, and 8% in the mild, moderate, severe, and
profound range of retardation respectively). A number of
the clients in our program are non-ambulatory, sight impaired/blind,
hearing impaired/deaf, do not communicate verbally, or have
special dietary concerns (e.g. G-Tubes, dietary restrictions,
modified diets, etc.). In addition, many clients have secondary
diagnoses that include autism, cerebral palsy, epilepsy,
mental illness, seizure disorders, and other related conditions.
Transportation services to and from the
program can usually be arranged through our transportation
services department. In addition, Merrick, Inc., contracts
with the Phoenix Corporation for nursing and speech services and offers a variety
of non-vocational and habilitative services. We also have a full-time Occupational Therapist on staff.
