Did you know that GIL Foundation, Inc. provides more than just residential services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities?

For over 40 years we have been serving the I/DD community, and a large part of that is residential programming. But that is not all we do!

All of our residents participate in day programs during the week. Some of them go to programs in the community, while others have programs where they stay at the house. As part of the in-home day programs, residents engage in various activities including arts & crafts. Recently, a resident at our North Haven location painted the beautiful abstract painting pictured below and also made the paper plate turkey decoration for Thanksgiving (also pictured below).

Each day program is designed specifically for each resident, keeping in mind their interests and abilities to ensure enjoyable engagement in the programming. This is all a part of what we do at the GIL Foundation, Inc.
