For over 50 years, Echoing Hills has supported thousands of families, friends and neighbors through our outreach to people with disabilities. We believe in creating opportunities for individuals with disabilities and assisting them in reaching their fullest potential. Our journey began with Cordell Brown’s dream of serving people like himself, with only $300 and a handful of friends who believed, Echoing Hills became a reality. From that beginning and two rustic cabins in rural Ohio, we now serve individuals with disabilities all over the state of Ohio and internationally with camping, travel, residential and healthcare and adult services. Our services all support our beliefs that all individuals can live purposeful lives with dignity and respect. Our Programs and Services Include: • Two types of residential programs for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities: o Intermediate Care Facilities for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF-IID) o Waiver Services • A summer camping program in rural Ohio providing recreational, educational, and spiritual activities for people with disabilities, and respite for caregivers. • A travel program providing all the services necessary for people with disabilities to be able to vacation. • The residential and recreational programs are also in Ghana, West Africa. • Over 500 employees throughout the state of Ohio. • echoingCONNECTIONS – adult service program for individuals with disabilities in Athens, Coshocton, Montgomery and Stark Counties. • echoingU – a post secondary transition program designed to help young people with disabilities continue their personal, social and professional growth beyond high school. Our Mission: Revolutionizing lives where people live, learn, connect, play and worship. Purpose: Creating opportunities for individuals with disabilities to know and experience Jesus Christ. Our Goal: We believe that all people with disabilities can live purposeful lives with dignity and respect.
