guiding principles

-Person first- 

Humans with diverse abilities are at the heart of everything we do. This person-first ethic is embodied in the way we express ourselves, and in the way we connect with our communities.


-Maximize Opportunities - 

Productive and fulfilling lives for humans is achieved by creating opportunities and supporting people in ways that allow access to the supports and services they want and need.


-Promote & Recognize Excellence - 

Quality and excellence are highly valued aspects of our programs.
We value all staff and strive to provide ongoing professional development that fosters excellence for optimum 

Scholar and community outcomes.


-Nurture Partnerships & Collaborations – 

Meaningful engagement by people with diverse abilitites strengthens our communities. Our staff facilitate community relationships through supporting Scholars to live self-determined lives. 


-Require Accountability & Responsibility-

Our staff is held to a high degree of accountability. We strive to earn and keep the individual trust of humans with diverse abilities and their families, as well as the public trust. Creating a system of supports that honors the individual’s right to be responsible for their own life and accountable for their own decisions is of paramount importance.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH & EMPLOYMENT TRAINING

Teaching Empowered Communication

TEC is a vocational training program for adolescents and young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) which braids together rights based training that promotes community awareness and encourages self-determination while teaching valuable practical “soft” and “hard” vocational skills. Learning modules that focus on multiple modes of communication-infographics, podcast, videography, and in person presentations provides opportunities for participants, transition age students and 

young adults with IDD, to learn 21st century technology and communication skills that enhance personal portfolios and professional connections. 


The program promotes self-advocacy and activism through a variety of structured and unstructured modes of engaging with professionals and community members. Throughout the program, participants are provided opportunities for self-direction by choosing the communication foundation (infographic, podcast, videography, in-person presentations) to focus their learning and community outreach. 

The goal of the program is to empower people with IDD to 

1) communicate for themselves

2) create community awareness and relationships,

3) acquire vocational skills that leads to a fulfilling career


Through the cultivation of individual talents and promotion of self-determination skills,

people with IDD foster unity and promote attitudes of inclusion. The relationships fostered with communities can support employment for people with IDD in multiple ways. Members of the community, employers and business leaders learn the positive impacts that employing humans with diverse abilities have throughout our communities.
