About Us

Our Vision

All people have positive control over the lives they have chosen for themselves.

Our Purpose

To foster a global community that shares knowledge about supporting people in getting the lives they want. Our focus is on people who do not have positive control or are at risk of losing positive control because of society’s response to the presence of a disability.
