Kimberly Brusatori and Linda Schuiten were inspired to come together to develop programs and services for individuals with disabilities, in response to the lack of such offerings in northeast Houston. Both had children with disabilities who would soon be graduating from high school and leaving behind the structure and programs that school offers.
Their ultimate vision was to create a full-time program that would provide much-needed support and structure benefiting individuals with disabilities and their families. At that time, the state of Texas ranked 46th in the nation for providing support for persons with disabilities. In addition, waiting lists for services were 8-10 years long.
Village Learning & Achievement Center provides a variety of programs including residential and short-term respite care, transition services, transportation, social service referrals, after-school care, supported employment, advocacy, in-home training, parent information/support e-group, vocational education & training, and recreational/ social activities.
