Principles
The guiding principles below are supported by the Community Foundation and AWS Foundation:
- Individuals with disabilities deserve a choice driven life (self-determination). Preferences, opinions, priorities, and accommodations are best defined by the individual rather than for the individual.
- Inclusion and Integration are better than segregation when possible. The more inclusive and integrated an environment, activity, or program, the more it will benefit everyone.
- Opportunities are presented with a focus on encouraging potential rather than identification of limitations.
- Social settings that include family and friends are preferred. Age related peer groups and potential for new friends is ideal.
- ADA standards are the law and the minimum. Exceeding through the principles of Universal Design is desirable.
- Opportunities that enhance and support education and employment potential will contribute to greater independence for the individual.
- No one has all the answers. Collaboration increases the potential for greater opportunities.
