We regard every person as a whole, an entire world unto himself, with unique qualities and abilities, desires and needs. We believe that people with developmental disabilities of all ages deserve an opportunity to live their lives fully, with dignity & quality of life, in a normative environment. We assert that the duty of our society is to ensure this birthright of its special sons and daughters, to be members of the community in which they reside, throughout their lifetime. Our focal mission is to respond to the authentic, urgent call of people with special needs and their families, and find ways to ease their inevitable hardships.
