Aspen Services
“My ability is Stronger than my disABILITY” ~ Nikki Rowe
We support adults with developmental disabilities and provide supportive services to help them live and thrive in Pagosa Springs. Aspen Services provides programming specific to their unique needs. Not only will Aspen Services serve the residents of Aspen House, we will serve the entire community of adults with developmental disabilities living in Archuleta County.
Prior to Aspen Services, the only service provider for adults with developmental disabilities was located in Durango, CO, 65 miles away. This has made access to those services and programs challenging for adults with developmental disabilities and their families. Aspen Services serves the entire developmentally disabled community of Pagosa Springs and Archuleta County with valuable programming and vital services.
