Miriam Home and Services was established in 1962, originally known as Miriam Home for the Exceptional, out of a need to provide resources and services for young people with intellectual disabilities from the Montréal Jewish community.
Since its inception, the organization has had a rich history in serving the communities of Greater Montréal, offering rehabilitative, social, community, work and residential services to children and adults with intellectual and neurodevelopmental disabilities.
