  Developmental Training  
  Our mission is to empower individuals to enrich their life experiences by creating educational, social, and work opportunities.

In our Developmental Training program, daily services are provided to persons with developmental disabilities desiring training in a variety of life skills and participation in many community experiences. Training may include: communication skills, work skills, daily living skills, social skills, academic skills, and health and safety skills.

Persons in this program may also participate in a variety of work experiences, at the agency and in the community. All services and experiences are planned according to your wishes, choices, and needs.

The Mary Beth Taylor Learning Center

The Mary Beth Taylor Learning Center (MBTLC) is an extension of our Developmental Training services.

Persons receiving services at The Learning Center, like those receiving services at our main facility, benefit from individual training opportunities. Individuals spend their day in a spacious layout to maximize freedom of movement and choice of activities.

Experiences at MBTLC include cooking, crafts, and listening to reading and music. Individuals can enjoy the outdoors and frequently utilize community businesses and the public library and parks.

The Learning Center opened for services in March of 2005. The new site offered a quieter, less crowded setting for those who would benefit from such an environment.

The Learning Center was named after Mary Beth Taylor who served as executive director of Futures Unlimited Inc. from 1989 to 2004.

The Dwight Learning Center and Futures Opportunity Center

Located in Dwight, Illinois the Dwight Learning Center was opened in Fall of 2007. This facility was established to meet the needs of individuals residing in that community. The services that are provided at our Pontiac facilities are duplicated here.

Another need of the Dwight community was met when Futures Unlimited, Inc. opened its second location in Dwight   A previous service provider had closed its doors and there was a need to provide services to individuals in the community who had previously attended the closed facility. In May 2009, Futures Unlimited, Inc. opened the Futures Opportunity Center .
