WCI
About
WCI, short for Work, Community, Independence, Inc., is a Waltham nonprofit providing homes and employment opportunities for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities and autism. Its residential services support people with intellectual disabilities and autism, including those with significant medical conditions. A dedicated Deaf Residential Services Division focuses on individuals with intellectual disabilities who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing or DeafBlind, offering residential support suited to their communication needs.
WCI holds that everyone in its programs has the right to work, and it offers flexible employment options for people with intellectual disabilities and autism. A Life Skills and Day Habilitation program delivers therapeutic, person-centered support aimed at maximum independence in daily life. The Art Collaborative Initiative uses art-making to build social skills and fine motor abilities. The organization relies partly on donations of all sizes to sustain its programs and services.
