When you or a family member has an intellectual/developmental disability, finding the right support and navigating the various service systems can be overwhelming!  From early childhood to school age, during the transition to adulthood and ensuring a safe and secure senior life, LIFE Mower County is there to help children and adults with intellectual disabilities and their families across the lifespan.

LIFE Mower County provides information and one-on-one assistance, connecting people with community resources and helps them navigate services such as early intervention, education, housing, employment, health care and community recreation.  When you contact our office, our first priority will be learning more about your needs.  Then, we can discuss what services/supports might be the best options for you and your family.  If for any reason, LIFE Mower County cannot meet your needs, we will point you in the right direction and refer you to another agency that can.

LIFE Mower County also provides programs that include Our Place Recreation Center (Bingo, Day Trips, Art and Cooking Classes, Dances and more), Special Olympics (Basketball, Track and Field, Bocce, Softball and Bowling), People First Aktion Club (Self-Advocacy group affiliated with Austin Noon Kiwanis) and Vacation Opportunities (Spring and Fall).

You can learn more about LIFE Mower County by visiting our website at www.lifemowercounty.org/ or our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/lifemowercounty.  Our building is located west of Riverside Arena in Austin.

Our address is 401 Second Ave NE.
