Mission
"EMPOWERING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES" IS DISABILITY ACHIEVEMENT CENTER'S MISSION. IT IS A MISSION THAT INCLUDES ADVOCACY, INFORMATION, MENTORING, TRAINING, TRANSITION AND BEYOND TO TRULY EMPOWER. RESPECT, CHOICE AND CHANGE ARE AT THE CENTER OF EMPOWERMENT. EVERY INDIVIDUAL IS ENCOURAGED TO EMBRACE EMPOWERMENT AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT MAY MEAN A NEW WAY OF LOOKING AT THINGS AND MAKING THEM HAPPEN. FISCAL, OPERATIONAL, ADVOCACY AND HUMAN RESOURCE POLICIES REFLECT SUPPORT FOR EMPOWERMENT AS AGENTS OF CHOICE AND CHANGE. ALL POLICIES OF THE ORGANIZATION MUST ADVANCE THE MISSION, ELIMINATE BARRIERS AND FOSTER INCLUSION. SINCE 1992, DISABILITY ACHIEVEMENT CENTER HAS BEEN WORKING TO HELP PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN PINELLAS AND PASCO COUNTIES TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO INDEPENDENCE AND ENSURE EQUALITY. WE HAVE A REPUTATION FOR EXCELLENCE COMBINED WITH CONSUMER-FOCUSED COMPASSIONATE SERVICES THAT HELP THOSE WE SERVE TO GAIN OR MAINTAIN INDEPENDENCE AT HOME, AT WORK, AND IN ALL ASPECTS OF COMMUNITY LIF
