    Believe in Employment First:
    Everyone can work and there is a job for everyone.

    Our job is to be creative and persistent in providing support that helps people with intellectual disabilities find, get, and keep real pay.

    Not working should be the exception. All individuals, schools, families, and businesses must raise their expectations.
    People will be hired because of their ability not because they have a disability.
    Communities embrace people who contribute.
    Everyone has something to contribute and needs to contribute.
    People are healthier, safer, and happiest with meaningful work.
    True employment is not a social service.
    Employment is a win/win for everybody.
