Seguin CLIMB

The Seguin CLIMB Program is designed to meet the needs of young adults with disabilities graduating from high school, to support them in meeting the challenges of adult life. Having closed its sheltered workshop in 1989, Seguin has long championed community-based services designed to provide productive, meaningful activity for persons with developmental disabilities. Through the Seguin CLIMB Program, Seguin is offering its innovative services to DuPage County and surrounding communities.
