Starting with deficient materials, space, and support, the initial teacher and 11 students began what would become a multimillion-dollar agency in Northern Utah. Thousands of people in the greater Ogden area have benefited and learned independence through the training provided – which expanded from academics to daily living and vocational skills training.
