Mission Statement:

The mission of Independence Unlimited is to assist individuals with disabilities in the Greater Hartford Area to achieve their goals and dreams.

Values:

We value people with disabilities of all ages and abilities, partnering with them so that they might remain in their  communities with supports and services that maximize their freedom, choice, and independence. We believe that persons with disabilities should be treated with dignity and respect.
We believe that the disability community has equal rights with all fellow citizens to:

• Promote and model inclusion as a society

• Choose their lifestyle, profession, family composition and level of societal participation,

• Secure the required equipment and services that will reduce societal and environmental barriers which cause them to be dependent and prevent their full integration into the community of their choice, and

• Enhance individual capacity for a meaningful life and physical, social, emotional, financial, spiritual, family, mental and environmental well-being.

We believe that we are accountable for:

• Bring role models and fostering self-worth for individuals with disabilities,

• Providing advocacy on behalf of each consumer as a vital part of an advocate's role,

• Providing high quality, customer-focused, cost-effective services,

• Progressive change in our organizations and systems of our society in order to solve problems that prevent the disability community from participating as equals within our society, and

• Collaborative actions and serve delivery that results in a stronger, streamlined catalyst for change that will benefit our community.
