What happens when a Toward Maximum Independence (TMI) client takes a leap of faith into a brand-new passion? In the case of Joshua, he ended up with gold! This determined young man, who has autism, decided to try competitive swimming for the very first time.

Toward Maximum Independence (TMI) is extremely proud to announce that one of our incredible clients, Nikki, recently clinched a gold medal at the Special Olympics Southern California Inland Empire Golf Competition at Fairmount Golf Course! Nikki’s dedication, persistence, and hardworking spirit shone brightly, proving that maximum independence comes in many forms—including conquering the golf course.

At Toward Maximum Independence (TMI), a nonprofit serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, we are committed to supporting every client to pursue their passions and achieve their maximum potential. We are excited to celebrate our client, Nicole, who is performing in the Arms Wide Open (AWO) Inspire production of the hit musical, Beetlejuice, at The Old Town Theatre in San Diego!
