Dedication. Support. Commitment. Empowerment.
Opportunity in Living strives to provide quality, individualized services for adults with intellectual disabilities. We want every person receiving services to experience safety, respect, and the opportunity to reach his or her full potential.
Residential Program
Ensuring each person receives quality, individualized services is our top priority. We have host home and apartment settings as options for residential placements. We provide residential services throughout the Denver metro area. Each placement is designed to meet the individual needs of the person receiving services. We strive for long-term successful placements. Our hope is that individuals in our program feel cared about, safe and respected in their residential setting so that they are able to reach their full potential.
Community Connection Services- Day Program
The goal of this service is to help individuals connect to their community through volunteer work and recreational activities. We have small groups that go to several different volunteer sites each week, such as Meals on Wheels or the Denver Rescue Mission. At each site there are opportunities to develop and improve skills that could potentially improve a person’s ability to obtain community employment. There are also opportunities to participate in recreational activities such as yoga, visiting museums, exercising, painting, bowling, or enjoying the outdoors by hiking and exploring. This is a great way for individuals to increase their activity level while also improving their social skills.
Vocational Services
Individuals can receive support with the entire process of obtaining community employment from their job coach. We can provide assistance with developing a resume, completing vocational assessments, filling out applications, and preparing for interviews.
Once employment is obtained an individual would receive assistance with learning new job tasks. The job coach would act as a liaison between the employer and employee. Ongoing assistance would be provided to ensure the individual is meeting job expectations and is able to benefit from the experience of maintaining a job in the community.
