Meridian Services was established to help individuals with disabilities to identify and pursue their hopes and dreams. For all of us, these hopes and dreams include:
- the right to be as autonomous and as independent as possible
- the opportunity to learn and grow
- the freedom to make personal choices
- the awareness and experience of one’s community rights and responsibilities
- the satisfaction of a rich life, filled with the blessings of family, friendship, and personal accomplishment
- the security of a healthy, safe and just environment
- the opportunity to plan for the future
Our commitment includes a promise to encourage self-determination and self-advocacy and to develop policies and practices that support these philosophies. The further development of a self-determined life enhances each person’s feelings of competence and well-being. Our focus on person-centered processes assists individuals with articulating and realizing future goals.
