Serving Individuals with Disabilities since 1965
Busy day
Spring is a busy time here at SU...among many other things today: John got a long and arduous grant request for a new vehicle off his desk;       Kyle cranked out some dip tubes for one of our customers;         Allen planted trees;         Jalapeno pepper plants are will hopefully lead us to a ...
National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month
The proclamation by President Reagan is below.  Don't look at the date and get caught up in a bout of 80s nostalgia...don't play synthesizer pop songs and do aerobics in your leg warmers.  Opportunities for people with developmental disabilities have come a long way and it is worth celebrating.  There's still a long ways to go...Illinois still operates institutions and there are close to 20,000...
Newsletter/Annual Report
Happy Thanksgiving all. Our Annual Report for FY12 is is available.
National Disability Employment Month 2012
Streator Unlimited, Inc. Recognizes National Disability Employment Awareness Month We celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month, an annual awareness campaign that takes place each October.

Front Page Article
We're on the front page of the Times today!  It being an election  year, do we sound like politicians running for election with phrases like "cautiously optimistic" or "stable for now"?  It's hard to do a good job of articulating that we're financial stable for the moment, optimistic about the long term future, but still nervous about the outlook for the next few years.  That picture of Jim in...
Dental Issues
Here is an article on dental issues regarding people with developmental disabilities.  It's not a new problem but is an ongoing one.  The recent Medicaid cuts removed funding for preventative care for adults, though SU is required to assure residents in our group homes receive it.  Even with Medicaid, the dental rates were so low and the payments so late that it was a losing proposition for den...
Streator
A  happy outcome in this article, though we wouldn't call it uplifting.  A tribute to Streator, that in the process of building our new group home, there was nothing but support from our fine city government and residents.
Topinka Tour
Our State Comptroller is conducting a tour of agencies like SU which serve people with developmental disabilities to highlight the impact of the state choosing to make budget cuts in a way that has had a negative impact.  Perhaps nothing highlights the impact on the service system than this article.  We've made it through at SU though the support of a fantastic Streator community, along with an ...
Business as Usual
The late payments are nothing new to those of us providing services  funded by the state of Illinois.  We do feel that the fiscal year beginning July 1 will be a stable, if unspectacular one, for SU.  We'll have to watch our cash flow very carefully and make it through the hoops of the expedited payments process at the appropriate time.  Even so, the full impact of the Medicaid cuts on healthc...
FY13 Budget Update post
It's nice to have a state budget passed as we plan for the fiscal year beginning July 1.  However, it's still very difficult to project the impact the Medicaid cuts will have on the expenses we have for our residents' health concerns.  At this point in time it looks like we'll be financially stable in the coming fiscal year, assuming continued support for our workshop program through donations a...

Quality Control

Keep your employees on the jobs you need them to do while you outsource your product inspections and re-works to us. We have detail-oriented workers who have saved production runs by identifying and fixing errors, removing extra components from product packaging, re-cut dip tubes to appropriate lengths, sorted good from damaged product, meticulously repaired damaged items and handled other large run issues. Contact us to see if we can help your business save product, time and money.


Sorting and Assembly

This is our bread-and-butter.   We have a large number of consumers who really enjoy this work and take great pride in doing it well.  We have repackaged items from wholesale to retail packaging, prepared items to go on retail display, put together assembly packages, heat-sealed parts for delayed, final assembly.


Mailings

We have the space and workers to prep your documents for mass mailing.  You won’t need to pay your own staff overtime or take time away from their other duties, nor to bring in and find space for a temporary worker.


Janitorial and Floor Care Services

We do general cleaning as well as stripping and refinishing floors. We are clean carpets using an environmentally-friendly spay/dry enzymatic process.   This kind of work complements the other jobs we do and gives our consumers opportunities to utilize their various skills and talents.
