Adults Independent and Motivated

Making Independence Possible!

Move In Day!

Adults Independent and Motivated (AIM) is a growing non-profit community of active adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, such as Down syndrome and autism, who live independently with appropriate support, in an apartment complex, in a walkable, vibrant suburb of Austin, Texas.

Supporting Sponsor-- The Rotary Club of Lakeway/Lake Travis

The gift of transportation is, in fact, the gift of independence. Without reliable transportation to work and AIM activities, AIMers would not be able to move out of their parents’ homes. In 2023, Rotary Club of Lakeway/Lake Travis generously donated a brand new minivan-- which the AIMers named Thunder-- to provide the gift of transportation…and independence! We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Rotary Club of Lakeway/Lake Travis for this incredible gift that will be helping AIMers thrive for years to come. Together, Rotary and AIM make independence possible.
