CHI is a not-for-profit service provider, founded in 1948, that supports individuals with intellectual and other developmental disabilities and their families. Mission: Breaking through barriers for people with different abilities to contribute, connect and lead lives they choose. Breaking through Barriers: CHI is about creating opportunities for the people we support with their involvement and considering their interests for working, volunteering and how they spend leisure time or their retirement years. We turn exclusion from opportunities into inclusion by finding ways for people to be accepted and accommodated. If someone isn’t sure about what interests them, we introduce them to new possibilities and help them have new experiences that develop their interests.
