Our Guiding Principles are:
- To serve adults with need for supported employment who can benefit from current program models.
- Services are determined by consumer (residential, family, friends) demand and resource (dollars, space, staff expertise) availability.
- Emphasize the development of maximum independence for each supported worker.
- Utilize multiple models to ensure services which match or suit individual worker needs.
- Support individual dignity and respect the rights of its supported workers, within the context of their unique skills and abilities, to have access to equal opportunities in the community work setting.
- Utilize a holistic approach, viewing supported workers as individuals and valued members of the community. Annual Vocational Evaluation Reports (AVERS) seek and utilize community/ family cooperation in individual integration. AVER's are revised annually.
- Respect the right of the supported worker to have a voice in his/her own training, the opportunity of choice and self-determination, to the best of the agency's ability.
