Amib

Founded in 1968 by a small group of parents of young adults with developmental disabilities, along with their friends and professionals, the Association for the Multiple Impaired Blind, Inc.(AMIB) has been a beacon of support for individuals facing challenges. We owe immense gratitude to our founders for their vision and dedication. In 1975, AMIB opened its inaugural community residence in Barnegat, New Jersey, marking a significant milestone in our journey. Their commitment to providing care and support remained unwavering. Over the years, AMIB has evolved to meet the changing needs of the community. We have embraced the concept of normalization, striving to integrate individuals with disabilities into their communities. Through community-based residential facilities in Ocean County and Monmouth County, we continue to uphold our mission of fostering independence and inclusion. We are currently in the process of purchasing and renovating our 20th group home. As we look back on our history, we extend heartfelt thanks to our founders for laying the foundation upon which AMIB stands today.
