ACHIEVA

Founded out of love for their sons and daughters with intellectual disabilities, a group of family members began a grassroots movement in the early 1950’s that changed the long history of segregation and isolation of children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

Statement of Mission: ACHIEVA commits to excellence in lifelong services for people with disabilities and their families.
Statement of Vision: ACHIEVA envisions the day when people with disabilities fully participate in their communities.
