About Us

Formerly known as Project TURN, we were founded in 1973 by a group of parents who wanted to improve program services for adult children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. TURN began by opening residential programs in Ogden and Bountiful. Individuals with disabilities could live in a traditional home setting, participate in community activities, and have an integrated, more independent social interaction experience.

More than forty years later, TURN Community Services now provides services to more than 850 individuals with developmental disabilities in Utah. We provide services across the state from Brigham City to St. George, UT. We offer a full range of services, including day programs, residential living services, art center programs, summer camps, and supported employment opportunities.

Stories of Impact

"I have two brothers receiving services from TURN. A DSP has made an incredible difference in one brother's life in particular. Through her connection and care, he is living life more fully than ever before. When a traumatic event happened in the neighborhood that was very unsettling to my brother, this DSP drove over to comfort him and assure him things would be ok although she was not scheduled. Knowing my brother is in good hands means so much to me." - Melanie Emery Delton

"Big thanks to you all. I have two disabled younger sisters that attend TURN and I’m ever so grateful for the opportunities and things you help them experience. I worked with special needs for years a long while ago and know how much patience and love it can take. Sincere thanks from our family!' - Jordan Bradford

"Thank you for the comfort box you sent at Robbie's passing. Thank you doesn't seem quite enough to say to you who have had such an important and positive influence on Robbie and our family. To have a place for him to spend time where he could learn and interact with staff and friends was so significant. I will always be grateful to you and your organization." - Celeste Cragun

"Shout out to all TURN employees! It can be a tough job. Client's families so appreciate all you do!" - Melissa Wolfe Tait
