Empowering individuals of varying abilities to live to their fullest potential with dignity, integrity, choice and community inclusion.

At TradeWinds Services, Inc., we are defined by a strong foundation of people; from the children and adults we serve to the men and women who champion our cause. Our goal is to help individuals grow to their potential success. This long, often winding road to success began its journey in the early 1940's where TradeWinds traces its roots back to the Lake County Association for Crippled Children, TradeWinds' Parent Organization. The Association provided speech, hearing and therapy services for children with disabilities. At that time services were offered wherever space was available-church basements, schoolrooms, YMCA's and rented storefronts.
