DESCRIPTION
SPARC is a non-profit that provides day programs for adults with severe and multiple disabilities throughout the DMV. SPARC’s mission is to provide adults with severe and multiple disabilities enduring learning opportunities, social connections, and a rightful and meaningful place in our community. One of our participants said, after having sat home for over 10 years post high school graduation, "Before I found SPARC, when I aged out of school at 22, I found I had aged out of life." No one should ever feel that way. At SPARC we believe everyone should live the same life everyone hopes for.
