Founded in the early 1970s by local parents of developmentally disabled children, the Walnut Street Center endeavors to "provide adults with development disabilities with opportunities to live engaged and meaningful lives". The center features a slate of programs such as Day Supports, addressing the recreational and vocational needs; Residential Supports, providing temporary and semi-independent apartments; and Social Service Supports, helping individuals to become more active in the decisions that affect their lives.
