PHILOSOPHY AND SERVICE FOUNDATIONS
We exist to serve the life needs of persons with intellectual disabilities. The people supported share the rights of all citizens including the rights of respect, dignity, lifestyle choices, supports, and protection from harm. It is our duty to protect these rights for all those we support. The following are the foundations upon which our services and supports to people with intellectual disabilities are built: We celebrate and respect the uniqueness of each person we serve. We structure our supports in a manner that provides people the opportunity to live their vision of a valued life. We support, educate, and empower people to achieve their fullest potential. We support people in their efforts to have the best possible health. We encourage and provide supports for people to choose and participate in everyday community life. We encourage and provide supports for people to communicate their individual wants, needs, thoughts and opinions. We encourage and support people to use community resources to meet their recreational, medical, and spiritual needs. We partner with people to seek and access community resources.

We encourage and provide supports for people to work at jobs of their choosing in work settings that are the best match for their interests and the needs of their employer.
