The greatest progress is made when we practice inclusivity and respect for those around us. 💚💛 Everyone`s path in life is different, and we never know what others are going through. Here at Independence Landing, ensuring that individuals of all abilities feel welcomed and accepted is what we strive to do. Paving the way towards accessibility for people with disabilities makes life a little easier for us all. 🥰

We hope everyone has a fun and safe first week back! 🍎✏️ We’re proud of our many residents who work for Leon County Schools or attend programs through Tallahassee State College. ☀️
Let’s turn the page to a new chapter and let the adventure begin! 📓💚💛
Arts and crafts is one of our favorite resident activities! 🎨🖌 While it might just seem like a fun pastime, making artwork is helpful for our residents in a variety of ways. It gives them an outlet to communicate their emotions and express themselves without requiring words, and can reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. We`ve recently made bookmarks, beaded jellyfish, and mosaic wall art from recycled materials! 🪼📖 Which is your favorite?
We`re celebrating International Day of Friendship by spending today with our pals. 🫂🥰 Proclaimed in 2011 by the UN, International Day of Friendship was created with the mindset that this holiday would "recogniz[e] the relevance and importance of friendship as a noble and valuable sentiment in the lives of human beings around the world." 🌎
Our residents recently took a trip to Carrabelle, FL, where they toured the Carrabelle History Museum and historic Crooked River Light. At Independence Landing, seeing our residents build friendships with one another is one of our greatest joys. We recognize the importance of these connections, and appreciate those friends who understand each other like no one else. ☀️👫
Don`t forget to tell a friend how much you appreciate them today! 💚💛
We extend our sincere gratitude to Senator Corey Simon and Representative Allison Tant for their steadfast support of Independence Landing’s workforce development program throughout this year’s state legislative budget cycle. Their commitment to empowering adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities through meaningful employment training opportunities has been instrumental in advancing our mission. Thanks to their advocacy, we are better positioned to provide the resources and training needed to foster the most important thing of all – independence for our residents.
Thank you, Senator Simon and Representative Tant, for championing a brighter, more inclusive future for North Florida. Your support means the world to our community! 💚💛
