Our agency provides services and supports for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including: Residential, Day Program, Employment, In-Home Support services, and Children’s Foster Care. Since opening our doors in 1969, we have developed programs that respect choice, offer understanding and compassion, and create opportunities for the highest quality of life.
Overture strives to be a leader in the intellectual and developmental disabilities field, as well as a partner to our local community through education, communication, and mindful, Person-Centered supports. We currently provide services to hundreds of people throughout the Colorado Front Range, Montana, Nevada, and Wyoming.
Overture has been providing services to adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities since 1969 in Colorado. Starting with a home where 8 people resided in Boulder, CO, our organization quickly grew due to the demand for residential services. As service delivery evolved to be more individualized and community-based in the early 2000s, we closed the initial home and the residents moved into apartments or Host Homes to continue receiving supports and services. From there, our organization continued to expand along the Colorado Front Range as we broadened our offerings to include day programs and employment services.
As an innovative thought leader within our communities, Overture values choice and is committed to sharing our vision, mission, and values as we grow alongside our communities. We have expanded our services into Wyoming, Nevada, and Montana to provide options for people looking to live in the community through individualized supportive living options

While going to school for a degree in Human Services, Amy first started working with people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities in 2015 as a DSP and quickly moved into the role of an Employment Program Coordinator. She was passionate about her work and identified a need for higher quality and more individualized services, so she started her own business as provider for waiver services. Her company served people in Cheyenne, Laramie, and Pine Bluffs for 6 years and was able to build meaningful connections within those communities.
