About Us

Heather Bennet and Lori Olsen, who are sisters, grew up with a brother (Rick Bidwell) who has disabilities. This ignited their passion to be around and help others with disabilities. After both graduated from College they wanted to creat a safe learning environment for people with disabilities in their community. In 2008 they made that dream come true when they opened the doors to Excellence In Everyone, LLC.
