Meet Our Team
How two women brought change to the Intellectual Disabilities System.
It started with two women and a vision. A vision that everyone belongs in the community, everyone deserves the right to a happy and meaningful life, and everyone’s voice should be heard. Audrey Coccia and Maureen Devaney created Vision For EQuality (VFE) in 1996 to change the lack of understanding and support people with disabilities and their families experienced in the community. What we take for granted; the sense of belonging and acceptance for who we are; being treated with respect; the opportunity to express our own spirituality; have the power, authority and resources to control our own destiny; and having options and security in our lives are not the norm for people with disabilities. Audrey Coccia and Maureen Devaney vowed to change that reality. Vision For Equality was one of the first agencies in the nation to develop programs that enabled people with disabilities and their families to directly monitor services provided to the disabilities community.
