| What We Value
We value everyone’s gifts. Our gifts are what make us unique. Everyone has the capacity to contribute something through work, volunteerism, and participation in groups and organizations. People with disabilities need support to gain the necessary skills so they may contribute to the work, joys and traditions of their community.
We value creativity. We believe every individual, direct support professional, family, neighbor, County professional, manager, Director, and board member has creative capacity to share. Working together in circles of support encourages the creative process.
We value our role as partners with families and friends in planning and achieving each individual’s chosen lifestyle.
We value people’s dreams and believe it is our role to facilitate a path of learning, growth, problem solving and choice making.

We value each individual’s path towards a dream and accept that everyone falls; it is our role to support the learning that can occur when mistakes are made, go back to the drawing board and begin again.
We value every individual’s circle of support: Friends, family and other important people whose only agenda is the best interest of the focus person. We value the information, support, increased natural monitoring for health and safety, as well as the community connections that every family member or friend can share with the focus person and our organization. We will meet monthly with the persons team at a time that is suitable for everyone.
We value and practice person centered planning as the cornerstone for all of our services. Every person has a person centered plan and a person centered job description identifying “Who” the person is, “What” their desired outcomes are, “Successful Ways” of supporting the person, and “How” staff must spend their times in support of desired outcomes. |
