Our Story
The Kan Du Group was formerly Blanchard Valley Industries. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit company serving the needs of adults with disabilities since 1969. The Kan Du Group is certified by the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities and is accredited in Organizational Employment Services and Community Employment Services by CARF, the commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. We also carry ISO 9001:2015 registration. In addition to our accreditations, we are proud to have a multilingual staff.We have the ability to communicate in English, Afrikaans, and Spanish. We focus on promoting choice, independence, community integration and employability. The opening of Kan Du Studio in 2007 led our way to accomplishing our focus and has led us in a positive direction beneficial to everyone we serve. In 2017, it was proposed that we adapt Kan Du as our parent company name. In 2018, the name was officially changed. We have a variety of areas we serve including Promotions for community employment services, In Motion for day habilitation services, Production for light industrial work and job training, a seniors program, and our Studio for the creative souls. We even have Vansporation to get you there! As people with development disabilities gain knowledge and skills through their experiences, they gain control over their lives. And they begin to achieve their dreams. Explore Kan Du Group for opportunities in your community.
