CVTC has worked with adults with intellectual disabilities for the last 41 years and we are still going strong AND continuing to expand our person-centered services to provide more support to the Deaf community.

At CVTC, we know that every situation is different. We are known for taking on challenges that others will not touch. We rise to the level needed to meet those demands. We face them with compassion and an inner resolve to do what’s right. We listen. We are there for the people we serve, even when the situation is difficult. And through it all, we become better at what we do. We learn more. We gain more valuable experience. We support people who might go unsupported. Because we have learned from the tough situations, we are in all situations, stronger, more compassionate, and more knowledgeable. We are here to help improve lives, no matter what. That is why, at CVTC, the tough situations make us stronger.
