You provide the will. We provide the way.
Individual Advocacy Group (IAG) is a non profit agency that provides a full array of quality, customized, outcome-focused supports for people with developmental, intellectual, emotional, behavioral, or neurological disabilities.

We enable individuals to define and pursue their life goals and interests; develop skills to reach those goals; grow increasing personal responsibility; engage their community; and lead active, enjoyable, independent lives.
