On-The-Move Community Integration

On-the-Move Community Integration is a nonprofit organization supporting adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in accessing their community through healthful, meaningful, and environmentally responsible activities. Since 2007, we have led a grassroots effort to break down barriers of inclusion through offering thousands of community-integrated experiences and connections.

We aim to enrich the social fabric of community through ensuring the fuller participation of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We believe that in order for true inclusion to occur, individuals must have regular opportunities to play a role in their community and the greater community deserves frequent interactions with people who have differing abilities, communication styles, and experiences. Our role is to ensure the possibility of these interactions, to model the celebration of diversity, and to offer individuals choices that are meaningful, healthy, and environmentally responsible.

By ensuring fuller participation in the community on a daily basis, we are continually increasing the social appreciation for human differences. We envision a society that relies upon the diverse experiences of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. When we think about the future, we often imagine our roles looking very different. That's because, in the future we envision, every human is valued and appreciated for their unique contributions and disability is fully understood as a social construct of the past.
