It is hard to express in a few words how much Employment Horizons means to our daughter Kristen. Kristen is severely disabled in language and could never function in a job require any verbal interaction. At Employment Horizons she can do meaningful work and has colleagues and friends who accept her for being her. Without Employment Horizons her life would be very bleak. - Joanne Miller
Our son, Beau, has been working at Employment Horizons for over twenty years. He finds a safe environment, where he has learned the value of working, and being a responsible individual. He has found friends he would not have met if this place were not there. Beau has always wanted to work there, everyone there would not be the person they have become without Employment Horizons. - The Mirsky Family
If our daughter Kristen had her way, she would be at Employment Horizons seven days a week. Employment Horizons gives her a place to have friends and do meaningful work. Her severe language disability would deny her the ability to do any work otherwise. Without Employment Horizons, she would be lost. We are all very grateful that Employment Horizons is in Kristen’s life. -Victor Miller

At Employment Horizons the work environment is welcoming, supportive, safe, cheerful, clean and stimulating.
