For over 70 years, United Rehabilitation Services of Greater Dayton (URS) has provided a comprehensive continuum of services to meet the needs of children, adults, and seniors with developmental and acquired disabilities throughout the Greater Dayton region.

We have the region’s only fully-inclusive Early Childhood Education Center, serving both typically-developing children and those with special needs. On-site nurses and therapists are available to support the children and adults we serve throughout the day. As a CARF-accredited organization and a Five-Star Gold-Rated program under the Ohio Department of Children & Youth's Step Up to Quality system, URS offers the highest quality of care for children and adults of all abilities.

Our wide array of programs include Adult Day Services with Community Integration, and Infant, Toddler, Preschool & Summer School-Age Youth Services. We also have an on-site Therapy Center that offers outpatient therapeutic services in Physical, Occupational, Speech, Aquatic, and Augmentative Communications. Additionally, we offer community-based Employment Services, including Job Development, Job Coaching, Transition Youth, and Project Search Programs to three counties in Southwest Ohio.
