Vision and Mission
Our Vision and Philosophy
-
We aim to provide services to people with any form of self-identified or diagnosed disability.
-
We believe in the Neurodiversity Paradigm and specialize in providing information and services to the Neurodivergent population.
-
We support use of self-selected inclusive language, using either identify-first or person-first language.
-
We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of our activities or operations.
-
We recognize that mainstream services and supports are not the best fit for everyone. We aim to provide information on support options available outside of the traditional service model paradigm. Specifically, through assistance with support planning.
