Community-Based Day and Weekend Program and Transportation Services, serving our community for over 26 years
For the last 26 years, Encouraging Development Inc has served the IDD communities in the Denver metro and foothills areas. In 2024, we have been blessed with the opportunity to expand our program reach to offer services in your area! We teach our clients how to access their communities with fun and exciting activities which profoundly increases their social circles and quality of life. We help individuals reach their goals by supporting and mentoring them in personal development, money skills, safety, appropriate social behavior, making suitable food selections and appropriate peer-conflict resolution techniques. Dave Drum's time-tested methods greatly increase self-esteem, confidence, independence and social skills including mentoring in the establishment of meaningful and long-lasting friendships within and outside of the group. Encouraging Development Inc staff works closely with the individuals, families and care takers to better understand each person's experience and situation to best support them and their changing needs. On our website, you can read letters from some of the families we serve. We do not have high turnaround of staff like you will find in many other day programs. Our atmosphere and team synergy ensures that all of our staff can continue to deliver the highest quality of genuine care and create long term bonds between client, families and staff. Our calendars are always changing each month to include local sports games, social events, as well as special trips like Meow Wolf and Rockies games. Encouraging Development Inc pays for all activities! We would love the chance to see if we could be a good fit for your needs. Contact us at (720) 226-4125 for a consultation and a free, no obligation day of your choice!
