Amicus

Testimonials

"To me, it feels like family. The group is like a family I can trust. I am becoming more social every day I’m here. There were times (in the past) when I couldn’t speak to people because I didn’t trust them, but now I can speak to anyone. I’m looking forward to volunteering soon to gain even more skills for employment."

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for your interest in Amicus. It has been our pleasure to support men and women with cognitive and other disabilities for the past thirty-five years. We currently base our community and employment support for about 300 individuals in cheerful and accessible facilities at three locations in Bangor. Our buses and vans can be seen in all of our local areas as our program participants take part in the life of their community.

Individuals in Amicus day programs have a very wide range of abilities and challenges. We make every attempt to individualize a personal support plan and work to enhance abilities as well as to address disabilities. We are committed to involving each individual, their families if desired, and other professionals in development of a plan to increase independence, to support growth in all areas, and to encourage a balanced and healthy life.

Our staff is professional and caring in their approach and has specific expertise in communication and behavioral support. We have speech, occupational, physical and behavioral consultants on staff. Among many activities, Amicus offers highly developed and interesting art and writing experiences that have been highlighted in newspaper and television articles. Support for employment and work readiness are core activities for our agency and a benefit to many local businesses. Our programs are as complex as the individuals that we support.
