Developmental Services
As an agency, Christian Horizons is committed to providing supports that are person-centered. We help people to define and pursue their own dreams and goals, to experience inclusion and relationships, to enjoy meaningful activities, to exercise self-determination, and to pursue personal growth. We strive to keep the person with a disability and family, friends, and/or advocates at the centre of planning and decision-making for that person.
