Everyone has valuable talents and abilities. and everyone matters. We seek to transform the way communities and societies understand relate to and support citizens with developmental disabilities. By honoring diversity in values heritages abilities and interests we help to ensure that people with disabilities enjoy the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. and by working cooperatively with organized labor we operate fair and dignified workplaces that bring added value to our mission as a human-service agency.
