At neba, we empower people with disabilities and other barriers who have been historically marginalized. https://linktr.ee/neba.works To enable people with disabilities whose rights and freedoms are most likely denied them to be fully included in community life, primarily through employment.In a way that: • Incorporates and creates best practices• Creates valued typical societal roles• Offers individualized opportunities• Does no harmSo that the gifts and talents of all people are appreciated.Commitment to our mission is based on the following assumptions:• All human beings regardless of type/level of disability are capable of learning and growing;• Individuals with disabilities may need support to get through ordinary aspects of everyday living, particularly if they have been denied experiences typical of their same age non-disabled peers. Relevant opportunities, appropriate role models, positive expectations, and individualized supports are necessary for persons with disabilities to learn the skills necessary to successful enjoyment of life along with their non-disabled peers;• It is impossible for universal life needs to be adequately addressed if all of one’s time is spent segregated from or denied access to these necessary opportunities to learn, grow and meet others;• There needs to be a good fit between what an individual’s needs are and what services, supports, and opportunities are made available. In the absence of model coherency, services are irrelevant and people are likely to be harmed;• All human beings must be recognized and treated as human beings, with caring, respect and love, or they will not thrive and grow;• The physician’s credo applies in all human services: “Before all else, cause no more harm.”
