History

Established in 1980.

In 1980, families with loved ones challenged by a wide range of cognitive disabilities created REACH for Resources as a neighborhood support center. As our society was moving away from the widespread institutionalization of people with disabilities, these families sought support services that would increase the self-​sufficiency and community inclusion of their loved ones.

REACH became a not-​for-​profit, 501©(3) organization in 1986. Today, we provide a wide array of direct services to promote independence and a meaningful quality of life for people with cognitive disabilities.
