Laradon

Description

• Laradon specializes in services to children and adults with developmental disabilities. We operate 13 programs that are designed to help each individual develop to his or her fullest potential. Laradon was founded in 1948 by Joseph and Elizabeth Calabrese after their two sons were denied an education in the public school system because they were mentally retarded and uneducable. The Calabreses invested their life savings into the creation of a very special school - Laradon. Named after their two sons, Larry and Donald, Laradon was the first charitable organization in the Rocky Mountain region to offer support, education and training to children with developmental disabilities.In partnership with parents, professionals, philanthropic organizations and generous community members, Joseph and Elizabeth Calabrese created a training center for people seeking the opportunity to expand their work skills, a school for children with special needs and housing for people in need of a home.The Calabrese's knew that when provided with the proper education, training and support, people with disabilities could realize their full potential, contribute to the community and become valued members of society.That vision still exists today. It is manifested in Laradon's culture and operating philosophy, it is embodied in its mission statement and is seen on the faces of the children and adults who are experiencing a life of inclusion, independence and success.
