Through relationship we often give most deeply of ourselves; however, most people with disabilities have fewer personal relationships in their lives. It is not uncommon for people in&nbsp;our society to see the disability instead of the person and this prevents relationships from happening in natural ways. This is a loss to both the person with a disability and a community who has not come to know theindividual’s&nbsp;gifts&nbsp;and&nbsp;contributions.&nbsp;Through focusing on the gifts and talents of the person with the disability, we explore opportunities for engagement in community where the person's gifts can be celebrated.&nbsp;Vision:All people, including children and youth with developmental disabilities, have full and meaningful lives as welcomed and contributing members of their neighbourhoods and the broader society.Mission:In partnership with families and community, we build a life of belonging for children and youth with developmental disabilities. We focus on their unique gifts and contributions to facilitate friendships, community connections and valued social roles.
