Guided by our core values of self-determination, independence, productivity, integration, inclusion, advocacy, protection, and quality of life, we challenge barriers, improve policies, and create opportunities so every person can live, work, and thrive in their own community. We work to make California the best place for individuals with IDD and their families. We do that through advocacy, capacity-building, and systems change. Our services and support are free, so cost is never a barrier to access.
