Enabling
individuals with
intellectual and

disabilities to
progress toward
their full potential.
Our vision is that
all consumers we

enhanced quality of
life, have a sense of
personal value, and

Early Learning Happenings!
Through the support of foundations, corporations, and individual donors, Waves is able to provide a place to live, learn, work and play in our community. Please join us in improving the quality of life for the individuals we serve by making a donation in the enclosed envelope. The generosity of others helps us improve and expand services! Thanks to the Tennessee Disability Coalition Discretionary Grant Program, Waves was able to hire Rob Brodsky, a special education teacher, to work with our Brookwood and Fairview staffs. Rob will mentor staff by introducing new teaching techniques, help coordinate center schedules and improve curriculum. We are so grateful to have the support of the Coalition and Rob’s skills!
Community Connections are very evident when you look at all the volunteer
activities!
