A Bit About Us

wli is made up of several different components, working as one comprehensive coordinated system delivering services to people with disabilities throughout Northwest Ohio. We have been in business since the early 70's and just recently became a fully independent provider of services. wli has always prided ourselves on providing quality services with meaningful results to each and every individual we serve.
