About
Great Prospects, Inc. provides Therapeutic Programming for adolescents and young adults with developmental disabilities. Through our diverse and personalized programming, we help teenage participants continue to grow and thrive and young adults make the critical transition to the adult world while learning to become contributing members of the community. In 2010, Michelle Jericevich set out to find meaningful programs for her daughter Indya and other young adults with developmental disabilities who had aged out of the school system. They needed a place to continue building on the skills they had learned, academically, socially, and emotionally, while gaining new tools for independence and fulfillment. When she couldn’t find anything suitable in the Atlanta area, Michelle founded Great Prospects to fill that gap. Great Prospects offers a community-based program for individuals with developmental disabilities, providing a safe and enriching alternative to institutional care. With long waitlists for state-funded services, programs like ours are more essential than ever, and we’re committed to making our services accessible and affordable for families who need them.
