2021 Awards of Excellence

Achieva is proud to acknowledge an outstanding group of people who represent Achieva’s steadfast dedication to children and adults with disabilities and their families.

Our History

Achieva was formed by a group of family members with one common purpose: to ensure their loved ones with disabilities had the same chances in life that everyone should be given.

70 years later, Achieva continues that mission through innovative and industry-changing programs and services for people with disabilities and their families.
