About Vista
Empowering Vista students and members to live, grow, and thrive along the Connecticut Shoreline.
Vista Life Innovations—Where Independence Begins and Belonging Grows
Founded in 1989, Vista Life Innovations (Vista) began as a small post-secondary nonprofit organization and has since evolved into a nationally recognized, fully accredited service provider.
Vista has been a vital part of the Connecticut shoreline community for more than 35 years and has supported hundreds of individuals (18+) with disabilities since its inception.
Today, Vista serves about 200 individuals with disabilities who live independently in more than 100 households, representing nearly 60 Connecticut communities and 19 states nationwide.
With a focus on person-centered services, community integration, and lifelong learning, Vista is dedicated to creating pathways for individuals to thrive.
How is Vista Different?
Vista offers programming for life!
Beginning as a young adult in our skill building residential transition program (the Discover Program) and progressing through our long-term support model (the Engage Program) with its wide range of services, Vista is committed to supporting individuals throughout their lives.
Our students and members live in households along the Connecticut shoreline independently with individualized support based on current needs which are assessed and adjusted as needed annually. Vista focuses on person-centered programming and prioritizes community integration and building, independent decision-making, personal growth, and long-term success.
Our team of professionals have the support of a progressive and proven infrastructure designed to support each individual and family engaged with Vista’s programs and services.Vista team
