People First Consultants advocates for the rights and full community participation of all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our goals is to work with people with disabilities, families, communities, businesses, and schools to improve systems of supports and services. We hope to connect families, inspire self-advocacy and influence public policy.
PEOPLE FIRST
People First believes that all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are defined by their own strengths, abilities and inherent value, not by their disability.
CORE VALUES
EQUITY
People First believes that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are entitled to the respect, dignity, equality, safety, and security accorded to other members of society, and are equal before the law.
COMMUNITY
People First believes that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities belong in the community and have fundamental moral, civil and constitutional rights to be fully included and actively participate in all aspects of society.
SELF-DETERMINATION/SELF-ADOCACY
People First believes in self-determination and self-advocacy. People with intellectual and developmental disabilities, with appropriate resources and supports, can make decisions about their own lives and must be heard on issues that affect their well-being.
DIVERSITY
People First believes that society in general benefits from the contributions of people with diverse personal characteristics (including but not limited to race, ethnicity, religion, age, geographic location, sexual orientation, gender and type of disability)
