What We Do

Self- Determination
We enable and encourage people with disabilities to make decisions. When people are equipped with the skills to make good decisions, they are better able to advocate on their own behalf and lead more independent lives. It is also important to involve supportive family members and/or guardians in decision-making, so that together we can create services, which respect the values and help to fulfill the dreams of all.

Building Relationships
We help, support and promote relationship building in the community and workplace. Every person needs friendship and a sense of belonging. By combining our professional services with the natural supports available from co-workers, friends and neighbors, we assist each person to develop the unique networks, which are necessary for full community involvement. Some people who experience disabilities have to struggle to become full participants in society. We strive with each person to break down these barriers of exclusion. It has been our experience that people with disabilities don’t want a guarantee of a perfect life, only a typical one.

Individualized Approach
We design and implement a unique plan of service for – and with – each individual. By focusing on each person’s capabilities, strengths and talents, we support the individual’s quest for competence, self-confidence and independence, while insuring safety.

We work with persons with disabilities, their families and professionals in many fields to design and implement an individualized and flexible approach to services, which meets the goals of all.

By employing a “whole life” approach, we are able to assist individuals as they build relationships, develop satisfying work, pursue leisure activities and enjoy a rewarding home life.
