Since 1977, the National Center on Institutions and Alternatives (NCIA) has worked to break the destructive cycle often associated with the human service and correctional systems. We provide individual care, concern, and treatment for intellectually disabled youth, adults and adolescents, and those involved in the criminal justice system.NCIA’s provides a range of services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our services include residential homes in the community, mental health services and employment training and other related programs for adults and youth. Additionally, NCIA operates a non-public specialized education school accredited by the Maryland State Department of Education for youth in grades 6 through 12.
