Why Donate? Because Every Milestone Matters:
When Orion was born, he faced unimaginable challenges including seizures within his first day of life and a rare genetic diagnosis. His mom, Halie, describes those early days as overwhelming and isolating, until Envision stepped in.
Through Early Intervention services they found hope, connection, and a community that believes in his potential.
Halie says, “Envision didn’t just show up with therapies and appointments. They showed up with hope.”
Watch their story to see how your support helps families like Orion’s turn fear into progress, and milestones once thought impossible into joyful reality.

Mission
Envision's mission is to enhance the quality of life for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Weld County, Colorado.
Background Statement
Envision was the Community Center Board (CCB) serving Weld County, one of 20 such entities in the State of Colorado. The organization began 60 years of dedicated service back in 1964 when it was incorporated as the Weld County Community Center Foundation (WCCCF). The WCCCF was forged to deinstitutionalize persons with developmental disabilities and provide community based services. In 1973, WCCCF established its first residential program. By 1986, the agency’s name changed to Centennial Developmental Services, Inc (CDSI) and again to Envision, Creative Support for People with Developmental Disabilities in 2004. Despite many challenges, Envision remains Weld County’s cornerstone for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and delays!
Recently, Envision has undergone some significant changes related to Conflict Free Case Management and Case Management Redesign. As a result of these changes, Envision is no longer providing Case Management; however, we are continuing our efforts of directly supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live, love, work and play THEIR way.
Envision currently offers Early Intervention services as the only broker in Weld County. Additionally, we provide essential services including Adult Residential services and Family Caregiver services, Adult Day Program services, Supported Employment Services, as well as a Summer Respite Camp!
Our vision is empowering people to live, love, work and play THEIR way!
