History

Reach Unlimited began in 1983, when a group of parents of young adults with disabilities joined forces. Their children had graduated from special education at school, and they asked, "What's next?" They wanted their children to have a life and quickly learned that the options were limited. So, they started writing grants. Then they banded together to form a nonprofit and Reach Unlimited was incorporated on September 23, 1983.

These founding families had a vision for their children to have long and productive lives, but what they wanted most for was their children to have independence. In hope to create a safe place where their children could live and continue to learn, they opened their first group home in 1983 (pictured), and a second one year later.

In January 2005, the Blair Inez Scianna Learning Activity Center was opened to allow Reach a school-inspired space to provide its comprehensive day program. With the completion of Phase One of the LAC, Reach offers the most comprehensive programs and services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the greater Houston northwest!
