WDACS Philosophy
We believe that individuals
- deserve respect for their inherent self-worth and dignity;
- are, along with their support network, a full partner in the planning, delivery and evaluation of the services accessed;
- are part of creating a safe environment to live, work and play;
- will receive services in the least restrictive and most personally and culturally sensitive environment possible
- are capable of adapting their skills to circumvent their disability and/or acquiring greater skills despite their disability;
- are capable of emotional growth;
- have the same rights as any member of the community and can exercise those rights without fear of retribution.
