OUR HISTORY
Spearheaded by a group of families in the Lanark County area, LCSS first started supporting adults with developmental disabilities in 1981 in Smiths Falls under the name Life Skills Lanark County. At it’s inception, the mandate was to provide adults with developmental disabilities the opportunity to become more independent in the community, at work and home through individualized, more person focused instruction.
