A quiet revolution began over a decade ago in the Black Hills of South Dakota, where the spirit of innovation transforms lives at Black Hills Works

The team's mission is to transform the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) Murner notes. through the strategic use of technology. “It all started with a single vision to support peoples’ self-determination and independence through the use of technology and has grown into a comprehensive program,” explains Murner. “We began small, but our commitment to innovation led us to partnerships and grants that allow us to expand our reach.”
