Spectrum Society for Community Living

Our Vision Spectrum Society for Community Living believes that community is enriched by the presence and contributions of its citizens with disabilities. We believe that together we can create a world where all people are valued, their voices heard, their choices respected. Our Mission Spectrum Society's mission is to support people with disabilities to experience full citizenship and genuine belonging in community. We are committed to continuous learning and improvement through research into leadership and best practice. As a service providing agency, our focus is on strengthening the capacity of individuals and their personal networks, augmenting rather than replacing natural supports. Our Values and Beliefs Our work with individuals, families, volunteers and employees is guided by the following values and beliefs: · Every person has the right to direct his or her own life · Every person is entitled to respect and dignity · Every person has something to contribute · Mutually rewarding relationships enhance the quality of life · We encourage innovation and creativity · Diversity strengthens our communities and our workplaces
