Values
What guides our work
- Disability is a natural part of the human experience.
- Self-determination and individual choice, as well as respect for cultural differences, must be assured through policies and systems.
- All people are valued for their unique strengths, talents and contributions.
- All people with disabilities or chronic health concerns have an innate right to be included in every aspect of family and community life, including the opportunity to live independently or in a family home, to attend local schools with their siblings and their peers, and to access the full spectrum of community choices.
- Family involvement is critical throughout the life of a family member with a disability or chronic health concern; the unique needs of each family and each individual must be honored.
- Family leadership must be respected and supported as an important component in all policy and systems development and implementation affecting families.
- Limited resources can drive opportunities for cooperation, collaboration, and reduction of duplication.
- By building relationships and trust through collaboration and unified action, our coalition can do more together than any of us can do alone.
