Founded in 1979, the program helps participants develop daily living capabilities and pursue opportunities in work or education. The curriculum covers housekeeping, meal preparation, personal hygiene, and social interaction, alongside structured training in conflict resolution, problem solving, and job-related skills. Its focus is on young adults with IDD seeking practical supports to live more independently, within the non-profit sector focused on disability services. Operating as a smaller organization in the Dallas area, AFIL provides learning experiences in a real-world, residential context to practice life skills.
