Testimonials

"I love everyone at TRE. Helped us navigate an overwhelming system and helped turn my son's life around. Everyone has always been knowledgeable, compassionate, and eager to help, no matter the problem."

"By partnering with TRE my child has been able to communicate his wants and needs better, making him a much happier baby. I've learned that when you can let yourself go and play at their level they learn so much better. A little patience and a lot of play therapy goes a long way. I don't know how they're able but they will do anything they can for a child/family that needs help. Amazingly kind and friendly. Almost like a second family."

"TRE has been a true-life changer for my family. They have supported us in some capacity for the past 10 years. The therapists are experts in their respective fields and have provided my family with the highest quality of care. I would recommend TRE to all families in need of early intervention services."

Mission

Advocating for independence and inclusion, TRE partners with children and adults who have a variety of disabilities, delays, mental health or long-term care needs. We do this using a person-centered approach in coordinating care, promoting choices, and collaborating with community partners.

Background Statement

The Resource Exchange (TRE) has partnered with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) or delays and their families in El Paso, Park, Teller, and Pueblo counties since our founding in 1964.

The Resource Exchange (TRE) serves over 9,000 children and adults in El Paso, Pueblo, Teller, and Park counties.

We are empowering people, strengthening families, and building inclusive communities through:

Home and Community-Based Services

Home and Community-Based Services are critical benefits for children and adults with disabilities, mental health or long-term care needs; benefits that empower them to remain in their own home when they might otherwise be in a nursing facility or hospital. TRE coordinates these vital services, working with our partners to deliver care, ensure quality, and increase opportunities for the people we serve.

Early Childhood Services and Early Intervention

1 in 8 Colorado children are affected by a developmental delay, but in many cases, if they receive extra support before kindergarten, they can reach their full potential. TRE Early Intervention teams are geographically located throughout southern Colorado and are comprised of physical, occupational, speech, and behavioral therapists. Early Childhood Mental Health consultations can also help parents and caregivers foster strong social-emotional development in children.

Family Support Services Program

Families with children or young adults with developmental disabilities or delays often incur costs beyond those typically experienced by other families. Insurance does not cover the costs of many necessities like adaptive equipment or clothing or accessible technology to learn. Additionally, caring for the caregiver and strengthening family bonds through essential respite and other supports are roles of this important program.
