Parent and Advocate

“As a parent of a participant who has been there since 1999, I can’t say enough about how much these programs have enriched his life. He has made lifelong friendships, done many interesting and fun activities.

The L.I.F.E program he participates in daily has him out to many different daily events, community happenings, parks, lunch spots, of his choice.

The Respite program takes him out on evening trips, movies, sports events, fitness activities. He looks forward to all the adventure that Oswego Industries has to offer.”

“Alex has been attending OI since July 2005, when he aged out of high school. I asked him today what he likes best about OI, and he said “bus” which means the ride to OI with his friends, outings which he especially likes if lunch is involved, and music which includes music group. What I love is that the staff is warm and friendly, will take my suggestions and help Alex reach his goals.”

“Our son has been going to Oswego Industries for 12 years. He participates in their Day Habilitation, Community Habilitation, and Respite programs. The programs provide a safe environment that promotes experiences with peers and the community in a supportive manner. Our son’s needs are more than met by kind, respectful, and fun staff. They were supportive and creative during the Pandemic years. My son has blossomed at Oswego Industries, and we are very grateful. Oswego Industries has been a blessing.”
