About Envision

What began in 1963 as a courageous effort by Cincinnati parents seeking a better future for their children has grown into an organization serving more than 600 individuals each year across Hamilton, Clermont, Butler, and Warren counties.

Through innovative, trauma-informed programming, we empower individuals with developmental disabilities to envision and achieve their personal best—at home, at work, and within their communities.
