We believe in adapting to the needs of the people we support, rather than making them conform to ours.

We believe that people can get all the support they need where they live, and that services should be provided regardless of changes in behavior, health, or other circumstances.

We believe services should be flexible, therapeutic, creative, and innovative.

We believe our work should focus on people acquiring skills that are not only practical and useful but promote individual well-being.

We believe that individual choice should be valued and encouraged.

We believe that people with disabilities should be highly involved in determining the types of services that they want and need.

We feel that the biggest difference between surviving and truly thriving in the community is to have close, satisfying relationships with friends and family.

We believe that services and living environments should be designed and modified, whenever possible, to fit the unique needs of the individual.
