There are a lack of these types of programs and a lack of funding for them as well. It is good to see that even though the funding is tight, there are places like TASC who provide personal, professional, and caring services to the disabled. I have seen many of their clients thrive with the help of their programs, and I hope they continue to be around for these sensitive and vulnerable people.
