We recognize that there are uniquely individualized opportunities and obstacles for individuals seeking to avoid orphanages or institutions due to a lack of resources to support families and smaller individualized settings. We directly advocate and support self-advocacy on governmental, family, and community levels to effect change in supporting community-based alternatives.
