Recognizes that all people desire to have a right to live in dignity within the limits of their capabilities and to be responsible for their own welfare and destiny. The basic purpose of the Compass Community Connections is to make this possible, working in cooperation with others. The Compass Community Connections believes, therefore, that all persons are entitled to the services and supports needed for maximum development of their potential as accepted and contributing members of society. Because the challenges of people with disabilities are shared by and contribute to those supporting them, all programs and services must reflect this.
