One Vision is a private, non-profit, charitable, human services organization dedicated to supporting people with disabilities to pursue their best life. One Vision does so through a variety of services and supports, so the individuals can be successful at home, work and in their community.One Vision is based in Clear Lake, Iowa, in the north central part of the state. Our services reach into more than 20 communities, and individuals come from across the state seeking our support. One Vision provides a caring, supportive atmosphere for approximately 300 people who receive one or more types of service from One Vision. Ages range from infants to senior citizens. Disabilities include intellectual disabilities, mental illness, cerebral palsy, seizure disorders, brain injury, autism, and more.The services provided at One Vision are accredited by the Council on Quality and Leadership (CQL). We currently have a 4-year accreditation up for renewal in June 2027.ResidentialThe Organization helps individuals with disabilities to find affordable, safe, and comfortable homes in Iowa communities of their choice. One Vision staff support each person to live as independently as possible, while providing appropriate assistance based on individual needs.EmploymentThe Organization supports individuals with disabilities to achieve success at work. It starts with discovery. Staff get to know a person outside of work, look at their home environment, find out when and where they are at their best, and assess skills and interests. They offer training to improve skills and the opportunity to learn about different types of work by visiting businesses or trying out a job for ten days. The Organization supports individuals with disabilities to achieve success in the communities where they live and the wider world. Success for some might mean volunteering at a local community kitchen or at a state park picking up trash. For another, it may mean going to the grocery store like everyone else in town, to choose favorite items and pay for them.Business EnterprisesThe Organization operates thrift stores and a recycling center which also offer work-related opportunities for those individuals it serves. This business is operated in conjunction with the other program services previously mentioned.
