Our Vision 

• A person is not identified as having a disability but is seen as a person.
• Employers seek qualified employees, regardless of disability and provide reasonable accommodations.
• Workplaces and public spaces, as well as programs and services, are accessible. Transportation is readily available.
• Government agencies provide willing assistance and supports.
• Mentoring and self-advocacy training are readily available.
• We change how we build homes so that all are accessible, affordable and homes are available near jobs or on a transit route.

Our Core Beliefs

• Disabilities are a natural part of life. Anyone can acquire a disability at any time.
• Many of the difficulties faced by people with disabilities are a result of attitudes and environments, not the disability.
• Disabilities positively affect and enhance the diversity of our community.
• Everyone should have the opportunity to participate, contribute and belong to our community.
• Everyone should have the opportunity to express his or her strengths, gifts and talents.

Our Mission

• To promote personal empowerment and positive social change for persons with disabilities.
