Description Program Srvc AccomSELF Start provides several charitable and educational activities in furtherance of its mission to support persons with disabilities. The Charity focuses on providing mentorship and guidance to build its clients' independence, employment, self-advocacy, health and safety, and support in the community. Historically, individuals with disabilities have not had the ability to decide on their own how they want to live their life; their family and professionals have taken on the role of deciding what is best for these individuals. The Charity's mission is to provide individuals with disabilities with the opportunity to decide their own hopes, dreams, and goals that they want to accomplish in their life.DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt
