TAKING PRIDE IN OUR WORK.

 

We all come into this world with different talents and skills, and every person deserves to be as independent as possible. People Reaching for Independence and the Development of Excellence (PRIDE) is a program designed for adults who are legally blind and have an intellectual developmental disability. Through PRIDE, we develop individualized programs of specialized services based on a person’s goals and abilities. We want to make everyone as independent as possible while encouraging self-confidence and enriching self-esteem.

Through its dynamic environment and support from caring professionals, PRIDE participants pursue their own goals and interests. They accept paid minimum wage work assignments if they choose and take part in trips to grocery stores, local attractions, special events and more to further develop their life skills.  

PRIDE participants value the time they spend being productive. Envision helps them be successful in their work, which provides an amazing opportunity for participants to earn a paycheck and feel accomplished. 

OUR SPECIALIZED SERVICES INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

  • Orientation and mobility training for individuals who need assistance and support with travel.
  • Braille instruction for those with an identified need and and interest in this specialized training.
