What happens after the parents are gone?
Several years ago a group of parents started investigating options in Tennessee for independent, supportive, residential living for their adult disabled children. They were disheartened when they found that nothing was offered to meet the needs of their disabled adults.
In 2007, the Developmental Disabilities Task Force projected that "up to 39,252 Tennesseans have developmental disabilities other than mental retardation"; however, Tennessee does not provide comprehensive home and community-based services for this population at this time.
The group of parents realized that they must create the envisioned opportunity, and hence Springboard Landings was incorporated in October, 2010, and certified as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) corporation by the Internal Revenue Services in May, 2011.
