Our mission is to be responsive to the choices and needs of persons with developmental disabilities by providing opportunities and services to support their preferences for working and living in their community.
Originally named Handicapped Education and Living Programs, Inc. (HELP), the organization now known as Riverside Resources, Inc. was founded in 1967 by a small group of parents who saw a need for the development of community-based services for children with disabilities.
In 1971, a part-time work services program was developed, which expanded into a full-time program by 1971. By 1974, the organization acquired its first group home and began providing residential services. Supported living services were added in 1976.
Riverside Resources, Inc. has continued to develop and grow over the years and has provided a variety of needed services to individuals in Leavenworth County while working to maintain a person-centered focus.
Learning to be as independent as possible whether working, taking care of yourself and your home, or enjoying social activities with your friends, Riverside resources, Inc. wants to encourage and support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities by equipping the clients with the tools necessary in order to achieve their goals.
