Vision

A world in which all people with intellectual or developmental disabilities are appreciated, accepted, and supported as members of their community.

Goals

1. 1.People with intellectual/developmental disabilities receive services through the Dept of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities. Older people receive services through the South Carolina Dept on Aging. We will advocate to establish a higher level-of-care, not currently provided to special needs individuals, to ensure they are transitioned and supported throughout their lifetime.
2. 2.We will bring to the attention of the legislature, and advocate on behalf of people with IDD, aged 65 years or older, who are residing in community-based residences administered by a third-party organization, to be exempt from attending a day program or work training program. We recognize their right to be retired, have limited regimentation and scheduling, and enjoy their senior years.
3. 3.We will expand our Board of Directors to benefit from the experience and wisdom of professionals from various fields. We intend to learn about and use new marketing ideas in order to expand our audience and add services for special needs individuals and caregivers.We plan to become acquainted with financial products on the market to ensure we guard our resources carefully while growing them.
