ABOUT US

 OUR MISSION: 
 The mission of the Potomac Center is to enhance the quality of life for  
people with intellectual/developmental disabilities by providing quality 
services to those individuals we serve and their families. 

WHO WE ARE

Potomac Center, Inc. is an independent, not-for-profit, private organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.


Since 1980, we have provided residential assistance and support to children and adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities as they learn the skills needed to live successful lives. Our Primary Goal is to reunite the individuals with their families and teach the individuals a wide variety of skills to be as independent as possible. Since this is not possible for some, alternate living places are sought. At Potomac Center, a team of professionals, including the individual (and guardian if appropriate), develop and implement plans and activities to ensure all needs are met.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We, Potomac Center, believe that all people, regardless of ability, are capable of learning and growth. They also have the right to enjoy the same privileges and benefits available to all community members.


Respect for our individuals and their right to be treated with dignity are paramount as we support each person in their chosen life experiences.
