"Thank you, PDI, for making my dream come true."— Jerry Hall
Jerry’s dream was to visit Nashville, a place filled with the music he loves. With PDI's support, that dream became a reality. Jerry stood on the stage of the historic Ryman Auditorium, toured the Country Music Hall of Fame, explored the Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline Museums, and experienced the Grand Ole Opry.
For a man who rarely speaks more than a few words at a time, Jerry’s voice was powerful on that trip. Surrounded by friends, staff, and the music that inspired him, he expressed a level of joy and gratitude that moved everyone around him.
Jerry’s story is what PDI is all about: creating opportunities, honoring personal dreams, and supporting individuals with IDD in living life to its fullest.
Your support helps make moments like this possible.
To create pathways of opportunity where people with diverse abilities thrive through informed choices, meaningful education and employment, premier residential services, and dynamic social experiences.
In the 1960's loving parents and committed community members envisioned a better way to support those with disabilities and formed Pueblo Diversified Industries. During the 1970's PDI acquired the current main campus at 2828 Granada Blvd. on Pueblo's south side. PDI received the first accreditation from CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) as well as Federal Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (JWOD) certification. As time moved on, PDI continued to grow by expanding and building facilities at the main campus, incorporating new programs, and beginning offering residential support services. Changes were made to facilities and program structures ensuring that all services that were offered provided opportunity for quality life experiences. Today PDI serves 220 individuals with significant disabilities annually. Staffed with just over 100 employees, our services are filled with compassionate and driven people working each day to guarantee pathways of opportunity are always open.
