C.E.R.T.S., Inc., was founded by a group of parents, professionals, educators, legislators, community members and agency representatives committed to providing a research-based, quality program for young adults with multiple, severe disabilities. The Adult Action Center was created to focus on providing life-enriching experiences and encouraging the highest level of independence possible.

The Adult Action Center has been in operation for three and a half years. We currently have 15 participants and are expecting a new participant very soon. Due to the state of the economy, we are not sure whether any graduates will be funded for day services this year.

In October, 2009, just three years after opening, the Adult Action Center became a MOVE (Mobility Opportunities Via Experience) for Adults Model Site. We are only the third adult site worldwide. This is quite an honor and required a lot of hard work by our staff and our participants. Some of our participants had never been upright with their feet on the floor until being given that opportunity using a Pacer at the Center. Several participants are now able to propel themselves in their Pacers!
