People Inc.

People Inc. is a non-profit organization in western New York. People Inc. provides a variety of services to seniors, families and individuals with developmental disabilities including residential, employment, community outreach, health care, and recreation programs. The organization was established in Erie County in 1970 under the name of Services to the Mentally Retarded, when a small group of parents and professionals joined together to address the needs of individuals with mental retardation.

The agency expanded its mission to include a wider variety of services to address the needs of people with developmental disabilities and disabling conditions, as well as the general public. Over the years, the agency has grown greatly in numbers of population served, spectrum of services, geographic locations, and number of sites. In 1998, People Inc. started The Museum of disABILITY History, the first ever museum about the disabled.
