Today Lakemary is a well established agency with a national reputation for quality whose services touch the lives of over 500 individuals with developmental disabilities each year. Ninety students currently receive primary and secondary education at Lakemary’s school, with 64 of the children residing on campus year-round. An additional 200 children receive services through the infant toddler and supported family living programs, and through service coordination.
