This past year we experienced severalimportant developments within our agency. Our name was officially changed to NewHorizons: Serving Individuals with Special Needs; our board’s bylaws were updatedin order to expand its inclusion and resources, and the agency’s Articles of Incorporationnow state that we serve individuals with developmental disabilities. All of this was doneduring a year in which we received a 3 year accreditation (the highest level) from theCommission of Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, also known as CARF.We have increased services to individuals with autism, are building additional classroomsfor multiply-challenged individuals, and constructing a home for those with Down syndromewho are experiencing early onset of dementia. Through our partnerships withbusinesses, community leaders and generous supporters, we are growing our programsand services while we look towards the future.We hope you take pride in what you see within the pages of this report.
