10. Zero-Exclusion

All people, regardless of the severity of their disabilities, have an equal opportunity to participate to the fullest extent possible in the community with support from Pacific Diversified Services.

 

Why?

• All people have a right to receive the same opportunities regardless of their labels.
• Given motivation and support, most people regardless of the level or type of disability, can be successful in integrated work and community living.
• Everyone deserves the "dignity of risk", meaning the opportunity to try things and fail or to have the same lifestyle that others have even if that involves a certain degree of risk.
