Desert
Survivors
is a "home
grown" human
service
agency founded
in 1981
in Tucson,
Arizona.
It is a
unique nonprofit
organization
combining
the appreciation
and preservation
of the Sonoran
Desert with
innovative
and effective
services
to enhance
the lives
of people
with disabilities.
We provide
early childhood
development
services
to children
and their
families,
and we provide
employment
for adults
with disabilities.
For both
programs
we run a
related
business
enterprise
to facilitate
the provision
of services.
The services
of our Early
Childhood
Development
Program
are delivered
through
a full inclusion
preschool
for both
able and
delayed
children.
The Adult
Vocational
Program
is realized
in the operation
of our retail
native
plant nursery.
Desert Survivors
children's
services
also include
early intervention
services
to families
with children
at risk
of developmental
delays,
coordinating
home-bound
early intervention
services
for families.
Desert
Survivors
adult vocational
services
provide
employment
for adults
with disabilities
through
the operation
of a native
plant nursery,
where our
nursery
workers
assist in
the cultivation
of a variety
of trees,
shrubs and
flowering
plants.
By providing
a retail
outlet for
plants indigenous
to the arid
Southwest,
we help
to promote
the use
of natives
in urban
landscapes
and contribute
to an understanding
and appreciation
of low-water
use plants,
as well
as an appreciation
for the
unique beauty
of our desert
home.
