In 1998 Life Skills founders began serving their first individual, realizing that the spirit of fun, individualization, and heart remained the missing elements from many of the programs in the area. Life Skills built its reputation on excellence, and continues the tradition of being first in class. At Life Skills we believe in "making dreams a reality" whether it's seeing the ocean, visiting another country, spending the week at Disneyland or living in your own apartment for the first time! We make dreams a reality! We are working on our first trip to the moon really soon, should be exciting! Life Skills today serves numerous folks throughout Southwest Wyoming continuing the inclusion revolution everywhere we go. It's not a party until the Life Skills Crew arrives, affectionately named the "The Pretty People Club". We make having a disability feel cool, and provide the heart and compassion that is required in supporting a person through their life journey. At Life Skills we believe everyone is a "VIP". Come experience the Life Skills difference!
