South Dakota Achieve was one of the 11 recipients, out of 79 applicants, for the “KELO Tradition of Caring Grant.” We were pleased to be awarded $20,000 in air time on KELO and UTV.  As part of the grant, KELO assisted us in producing a 30 second ad with a theme of “Eyes Wide Open”. It’s not just something we say. It’s something we strive for. It’s the basis of everything we do: opening minds, opening hearts, and opening eyes to the world.

  'Eyes Wide Open'  
 
 

At South Dakota Achieve, we believe in the importance of listening and responding to what people want and need; positive supports that do not include restrictive approaches; providing person-centered services and individual choice; offering support through sensory therapy, communication adaptations, specialized training; utilizing community resources to their fullest; and that every person has potential and deserves opportunities that are important to them. Celebrating Over 50 Years of "Finding a Way"...

Our History

 
 

Carmen's brother Tony is supported by ACHIEVE in the Beacon Program  - which supports 6 men who have severe autism – which started a few months ago.  This story illustrates ACHIEVE’S passion, expertise and ability to deliver exceptional services that people want and need. 

As Carmen states, “Before coming to ACHIEVE Tony existed … now he is living life.”
