Explore inclusive community activities for adults with disabilities in Maryland and how your support helps create connection, independence, and opportunity.
For adults with disabilities, community is more than social interaction — it is a foundation for emotional well-being, independence, and self-confidence.
Across Maryland, many individuals still face barriers that limit their ability to fully participate in community life. Without access to inclusive programs and welcoming environments, it’s easy for isolation to take hold.
At My Own Place Inc, we believe that meaningful community engagement is essential — not optional. When individuals feel connected, supported, and included, they are far more likely to thrive.

For many adults with disabilities in Maryland, these opportunities are life-changing — offering consistent interaction, shared experiences, and a break from isolation.
