Achieva Resource

Founded out of love for their sons and daughters with intellectual disabilities, a group of family members began a grassroots movement in the early 1950’s that changed the long history of segregation and isolation of children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

Statement of Mission: ACHIEVA supports and empowers individuals with disabilities and their families.

Statement of Vision: ACHIEVA envisions a community where disability is a distinction that makes no difference.
