Our Facility
Located in Opelika, Alabama
The Achievement Center – Easterseals was established in 1961. The Achievement Center is a cooperative community effort among industry, Easterseals Alabama, state and local education systems, Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services, Alabama, SUSCC’s Adult Education Program, and local businesses. This cooperative effort has minimized the duplication of services and maximized the quality and quantity of services delivered to those benefiting from our assistance.
Providing Services Since 1961
The Achievement Center is also in partnership with local area universities whereby students may fulfill practicum and internship requirements in the rehabilitation field by serving in a number of roles. The Achievement Center – Easterseals today operates a staff of 30 employees under the direction of Joni House, Executive Director.
Mrs. House also reports to a volunteer Board of Directors consisting of 15 individuals who represent all counties served. Our Board members offer a wide cross-section of experiences and backgrounds from both public and private business sectors, education, law, finance, medical and community relations.
Our Service Philosophy
Each service rendered exemplifies the compassion and concern this community has for its citizens. We believe that you will find genuine concern for the continued growth and development of each individual served.
