  • Proud to reach over 230 families each year, while providing a full range of disability services from companion care for the elderly to employment, training, and day services for disabled adults.

  • Committed to advocacy in many forms, in order to raise awareness, open doors and increase opportunities for people with disabilities.

  • Committed to inclusion and mainstreaming consumers as much as possible in the Crawfordsville, Frankfort and Lafayette communities, so that they are “seen and heard” as everyday friends, neighbors, and citizens.
