“Meaningful activities and social enterprises will cater to individuals with mild, moderate, and severe disabilities (including autism, intellectual & developmental disabilities, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, etc.) and to the interests of the broader community. By promoting a tolerant and respectful atmosphere that recognizes and nurtures each individual’s unique talents, Invictus promotes a safe, warm, and welcoming environment where individuals of all strengths and abilities can excel,” said Langer.
