  • We focus on the entire family.
  • We support the family's desire to express their own needs and decide how their needs will be met.
  • We treat people with disabilities and their families with dignity by respecting their individual choices and preferences.
  • We respect cultural, economic, social, and spiritual differences.
  • We find ways to provide supports and services that are easy for families to access.
