Our Vision is to have…
MEANINGFUL CHOICES FOR ADULTS WITH AUTISM/IDD WHEREVER THEY LIVE, LEARN, EARN, PLAY & PRAY
THREE KEY FACTORS ARE REQUIRED FOR ADULTS WITH AUTISM/IDD TO ACHIEVE THEIR LIFE GOALS:
- The presence of adequate community agency support
- The acceptance of people with disabilities by the general population in the community (including policies, laws, and attitudes)
- The availability of financial resources to ensure that people with Autism/IDD can access a reasonable standard of living enjoyed by other members of the community
The Power of the Dream focuses on Advocacy (#2) and Employment (#3)
