Review for L.A. GOAL, Culver City, CA, USA
As a professional in the mental health field, and as a parent of a daughter with cognitive deficits, I have to say, there is no organization better poised to serve people with developmental disabilities. Besides offering wonderful activities and services, the very most important thing L.A. GOAL does is to serve as a wonderful, warm and supportive family. When my daughter was falling apart over relationship problems, GOAL staff scheduled special meetings to offer her kind, educative support that helped her move on. When a member's parents died last year, staff and members stepped in with food and supplies personally brought to his house, hospital visits, support for funeral arrangements, and finding him new appropriate housing (including helping him get furniture and moving). This is not just an organization, it is an incredible support service, enabling us and others to manage what sometimes feel unmanagable.
