Meet Our Bright Faces

Parc Center for Disabilities serves a diverse population of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. From 2 months to 80 years old, our participants shine every day at Parc.

DeAeira

Meet DeAeira, one of our adult participants who was born with intellectual disabilities and a vision impairment. Following the death of her mother in 2019, DeAeira was left alone with a life no one prepared her for and a house she could not afford. She had no family, no support, and no confidence in her abilities to work and earn an income.

Lisa

Lisa has been with Parc Center for Disabilities for 46 years. In 1973 the family moved to Florida from Michigan and in 1976, Lisa was evaluated by Bert Muller himself. Lisa lived at home with her mom for 42 years and came to the Parc campus daily on our vans until 2018 when she moved into Curry Villa.

Davani

Davani was born 16 weeks early and his weight was measured in ounces. Davani was born a fighter, and with the love of his family, he was eventually able to come home. Davani has Cerebral Palsy as well as other health issues. When his mother, Trenee, began having her own health issues, it was suggested by a hospital social worker that Trenee seek help for Davani.

Bennett

Bennett is 7 years old and has a rare chromosome 6 deletion, hydrocephalus, epilepsy, sensory processing disorder, and cortical visual impairment which cause delays in all areas of his development.
