SLStart: A company driven by ingenuity.

Stephen Start began busting barriers for people with disabilities in 1979 when his SL Start Company started carving a niche in the social, health and employment service sectors. SL Start was setting standards for programs and policies at the state and federal level long before the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 made providing equal opportunities for employment and living for people with disabilities a national policy.

Today the SL Start group of companies – StartLiving, StartWorks and StartCommunities – has interests in several Western states.

With nearly 25 years of proven expertise in regulatory affairs, property management and development, operations, marketing and human development, SL Start is a company with roots firmly planted in innovation and success.

Specialized corporate programs punctuate the progressive business approach SL Start has defined. StartDirections is a corporate program focused on training for employees. This program illustrates the unique and uncommon emphasis the company places on training and personal growth strategies for employees and those we serve. SL Start’s TailoredLife Program is a proprietary approach to personalizing services for individuals.
