Live life to their fullest potential
Choose where and how they live, learn, work, recreate, and socialize
Access jobs, housing, personal care services and alternative therapies
Live life with dignity, self-support, and a deep sense of satisfaction
We offer a vision of society that accepts all individuals with their own unique capabilities, allowing them to contribute fully to their community.
