Our Values
We are people centered and focused on helping people set goals and realize positive outcomes.
Our Client-centered services are designed to help children and families who are struggling, and we value the person. We believe that some aspects of people are not "who they are" but include behaviors and choices they can change. We value good social and personal goals, respect the integrity and dignity of each person, and strive to help them be the best they can be. We value personal respect and regard.
Professional standard in work rest on core values: These are Core values of commitment to client safety and trustworthiness, confidentiality, quality of services, communication, collaboration and teamwork, caring and compassion, continual improvement of services, professional conduct.
Our Philosophy
We work with a strength-based approach, while balancing the need for awareness of what is getting in the way of making progress. Our philosophy is that caring and learning life skills, including self-discipline, are both needed, and that people can learn new ways of thinking and acting, that help them to thrive. People have strength of motivation and effort, and sometimes need help to learn to use them well. People can learn to be more aware, to recognize the impact they have on others, to build relationships, set goals and realize dreams. Learning how to interact appropriately with others, or to join in, and learning new behaviors, can be hard work and can also be fun. We are dedicated to strengthening community connections and encouraging natural supports to help them become as independent as possible while they still have needed supports. People can often overcome barriers in life, and people with disabilities deserve inclusion with dignity, respect and meaning. Our philosophy is that when we treat one another well, and support inclusion, we are all made better. We all need a chance at life.
When it comes to children with special challenges, you don't have to be alone. We help children meet life skill goals.

Evidence Based work
We set goals and define measurable outcomes so that we can observe progress, make adjustments and move ahead to help children achieve needed goals for lifelong skills such as safe interactions, making healthy choices, managing their emotions, and being part of community.
Fostering Independence
Creative programs and supervised play with integrated goals for learning, sharing, following directions, even learning to enjoy and have fun within limits, are developed with best outcomes in mind and carefully managed. All of our outcomes are logged and shared with parents and care givers to help ensure progress.
