Via of the Lehigh Valley - Connecting in the Community

Via of the Lehigh Valley is a non-profit human service agency that provides services for children and adults with developmental disabilities. Via helps individuals and families from birth through retirement focusing in Childrens Services, Employment and Community Connections.

Via works with children up to age three in their homes and daycares to address disabilities and delays. Via trains daycare and early learning centers so children with disabilities can learn and grow alongside their peers. Via helps adults find jobs in the community and provides coaching and training. Via helps individuals volunteer in the community, participate in leisure activities, and find or purchase affordable, accessible housing. And Via helps young adults transition from high school to the work force and community involvement.

Via provides leadership, support, opportunities and resources for people with disabilities so that they may be independent, productive and enjoy full lives within the community. Via understands that personal satisfaction and dignity is achieved through individual success and independence, and is committed to helping people live full and productive lives.

Via envisions a time when all people will have equal access to appropriate developmental and educational services, have friends who care and relationships that are rich and meaningful, a rewarding career of their choice, and a satisfying retirement.
