  • We are developing more focused and stronger mental wellness programs with the No Bounders as their needs arise

Family supporters and OTHER supports

Grandparents, parents, and parental guardians

  • We have just started getting the parents organized to tell their stories!

  • One of the missions of No Bounds is for upcoming families who have children with intellectual disabilities to have support from these families who have already been through the system

  • Our No Bounds families have a lot to share and give, and we thank them for all they do.

  • This is in current development

Siblings

  • Often siblings of people with intellectual disabilities are the silent actors

  • At No Bounds, we want siblings to feel they have a network of people and families they can also share their experiences with, and a platform to “keeping it real.”

Case workers

  • We of course welcome case workers, aides and assistants to participate with students for classes or as needed.
