Gesher Human Services Launches Services for Children with Disabilities
The agency will offer new support coordination services to children with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Wayne County.
Gesher Human Services, which provides programming, services and job opportunities for local people with disabilities, will for the first time be assisting young children with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Wayne County.
The nonprofit has already been providing supports coordination services, through its Bridges program, to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The services are provided at Gesher’s Detroit location (4250 Woodward Ave.) and are funded by Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network (DWIHN). Bridges currently helps approximately 150 individuals pursue their interests, live more independently and make important decisions.
