A First Step, LLC is dedicated to support people with
intellectual and developmental disabilities in building life skills and
exercising the right to make choices in all areas of their life; free from
abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
Our Vision: A First Step, LLC’s main focus
is to empower the individuals who are receiving our services to learn and
develop skills that provide personal growth and independence. We want to assist
people in living a productive life by controlling the process of how things
will be done, not the individuals trying to do them. We want to make every
misstep into something positive so that we can always address everything
experienced as another step in the learning process. The support systems in
place combined with different activities at home and in the community will work
to improve any situation to aide and continue personal growth.
Our Values: At A First Step, LLC, we
believe that everyone should have the opportunity to pursue their goals in
life, no matter how simple or difficult they may be. Everyone should be
supported, and the focus will never be on limitations because the possibilities
are endless. We will work with the family living providers and support staff
members to put the support systems in place to give the individuals the tools
that they need to not only survive, but also have great experiences and skills
in their lives. We all will strive as a team to help people develop life
skills, which will allow them to be successful in making decisions that are
meaningful to them in their home and in the community.
