To assist and empower people with disabilities and their families to seek quality and satisfaction in their lives as
well as equal access to supports and services

We BELIEVE that all people have a right to live a happy
and meaningful life, which includes:

• The power, authority, and resources to control
  their own destiny
• A sense of belonging and acceptance for who
  they are
• Being treated with dignity and respect
• The chance to participate as valued members
  of their community
• Options, creativity and security in their everyday lives
• Meaningful and loving personal relationships
• The opportunity to express their own spirituality
• Access to good health care

A vision grounded firmly in community.

The torch must be carried by the parents of the younger generation. The tools I give to them to overcome their obstacles are the following: never-ending hope, perseverance and the unequivocal belief that all people are created equal.
