We are pleased to welcome you to WIN. This organization has had a significant influence on the disability services field for nearly 40 years! As a community-based agency we are here to respond to a variety of human needs and conditions in the lives of people with disabilities. The administration of this agency is built on the philosophy of Gentle Teaching, which emphasizes professional standards of conduct and ethics. Working together with these principles in mind, there is no limit to what we can continue to achieve.

Our Values

We believe in equality and in doing with people rather than doing for people.
We view the individuals we serve as equals in their humanity.
Every person has an intrinsic right to be valued as they are — without conditions.

While we provide support where necessary, our goal is always participation, dignity, and respect.
Our work extends beyond direct services to fostering accessibility and true inclusion within our community.
