What We Do
MyStrides LLC provides community-based services through Supported Community Connections (SCC). We are committed to developing and offering access to community experiences that support an individual’s unique needs, strengths, and goals. We provide access to community resources and activities, while also prioritizing learning experiences that teach life skills and foster independence, self-confidence and safety.
Our Approach
Our program is designed to provide individuals with access to various social, recreational, cultural, volunteer, and employment opportunities, with an emphasis on safety, learning, and building connections. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to explore safely, develop new relationships, and have access to recreational and leisure activities of their choice.
How We Became
MyStrides LLC was conceived from a combination of factors; fate, opportunity, passion, and experience by a couple. Our daughter fell ill with malaria when she was twenty-one months old. What was and is still considered a common ailment degenerated into serious complications beyond comprehension. Our daughter suffered multiple strokes and a brain injury.
We embraced the challenge and started researching solutions for persons with learning and developmental disabilities. Over the years, we have provided Host Home services, and Patience has garnered eight years of experience from Adams 12 Five Star schools district as a Transition Coach, supporting students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. She also has extensive experience as a caregiver. Jonnie has worked alongside Patience in supporting our host home clients. Our daughter, now thirty, works happily as an advocate supporting persons with IDD.
At MyStrides, we bring experience, passion, resilience, and a system to support our clients to thrive in their individually unique strides.
