Our History

Formerly known as Independent Living for Adults with Special Needs, the organization opened its residential program on Claremont Street in Worcester in early 1972. By 1984, the organization offered placement services through its Shared Living Program. Today, My Choice Programs has experienced tremendous growth by developing a network of high-quality services designed to enable individuals with an Intellectual disability, acquired brain injury or autism, to live independently and productively in their community.
