VISION
We envision a world where individuals with disabilities are celebrated for their abilities, fully integrated into society, and supported by a network of empowered families, caregivers, and institutions. Every action we take brings us closer to a future where systematic barriers are not only addressed but eliminated. By actively collaborating with corporations, policymakers, and community, we are driving measurable progress in education, employment, and financial security.
The success we have achieved thus far demonstrates that inclusion is not just a goal, but an inevitable reality. Our legacy is one of ongoing impact, creating a society where every individual's potential is honored, and the lifelong support they need is accessible and guaranteed.
VALUES
D - Dignity for All individuals: Dignity is not a privilege but a birthright, and every action we take is a step toward ensuring that all individuals, regardless of ability, live with the respect and opportunities they deserve.
R - Rights and Equal Opportunities: True equality is measured not just by the rights we proclaim, but by the opportunities we make accessible to all, ensuring every individual can contribute meaningfully to society.
E - Empowerment Through Education and Support: Empowerment is the foundation of lasting change - through education and support, we equip individuals and families with the tools they need to seize opportunities and build long term independence.
A - Advocacy for Inclusion and Change: Advocacy is not a passive act; it's a relentless pursuit of systematic change that removes the barriers preventing full participation and paves the way for a more inclusive future.
M - Meaningful Lives and Experiences: A meaningful life is defined by more than survival - it's filled with growth, connections, and purpose, and we work every day to ensure that these experiences are accessible to everyone.
Always You.

Federal legislation plays a crucial role in determining the funding available for services and supports provided to individuals with disabilities. Laws like the Medicaid Act and Medicare Act govern federal funding for healthcare and long-term care services. Medicaid, in particular, provides critical support for individuals with disabilities through federal and state partnerships. States then distribute these funds through waiver programs, allowing flexibility to offer specialized services such as in-home support, employment assistance, and community integration. The decisions made at the federal level directly impact how much funding states can allocate to support individuals with disabilities, ensuring they receive the services they need to live with dignity and independence.
