Options Unlimited, Inc.

Published on by BCHD

Options Unlimited’s mission is to assist people with disabilities to become as independent as possible by obtaining opportunities to participate in and contribute to their community through work and educational programs.  In order to achieve this mission, Options Unlimited will operate an employment program, an adult day training program, and social activities that will provide these opportunities.

Our Supported Employment services are intended for individuals with a wide range of disabilities who require assistance to find, learn and keep steady employment. Many individuals who have never worked before or had continued employment successfully are able to do well with assistance provided by our supported employment counselors. We also provide supported employment and follow-up services for individuals that are referred to us from the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation.

Our Adult Day Program provides a wonderful mixture of life skills, training, and community integration activities. Each participant and their individual needs are handled with intricate care. We provide an environment that includes both learning and fun where a person develops independent living and social skills, and artistic abilities.
