• strong, healthy, supportive communities that have a positive impact on the quality of life and the development of children;
• partnerships with individuals, front-line service providers, communities, American Indian tribes, Native communities, states, and Congress that enable solutions which transcend traditional agency boundaries;
• services planned, reformed, and integrated to improve needed access;
• and a strong commitment to working with people with developmental disabilities, refugees, and migrants to address their needs, strengths, and abilities.
