Mission & Philosophy

 

      The philosophical foundation of REACH Inc. is born of the ideology that a population committed to five key components best support individuals with mental retardation.  These components include the fostering and encouragement of self-determination, the preservation of Human rights, the pursuit of a positive and gratifying life, optimal fulfillment of ones civic and vocational responsibilities, and the development of respect and dignity.

      Each of the components indicated, while stating our agency's philosophy encompass the principles of community participation, relationship building, choice and decision making, developing competency and respect and dignity. 

            While working with the Department of Mental Retardation, Individuals, their families and advocates, and interfacing agencies, REACH Inc. will supply education, opportunity, and guidance required to fulfill any needs identified in our consumer's Individual Service Plans.
