About I UNITE
About Us
Opening doors to work, independence, and growth across Ohio.
Dignity & Inclusion
Who we are
I UNITE
I UNITE is an Ohio provider of developmental disabilities services, delivering employment and transportation services to adults on Ohio DODD waivers. Founded by Charles Prunty, we hold one belief: work, independence, and growth belong to everyone.
For decades, people with developmental disabilities were pushed to the margins, told what they could not do instead of shown what they could. Our team works to open the doors that should never have been closed, helping people get to work, learn the job, and keep it.
Our mission
Four services. One belief: work, independence, and growth belong to everyone. Each service is built to open a door that should have never been closed.
