One Vision was founded on disruption – challenging the status quo of the time to advance social justice for people with disabilities to have the same rights and opportunities as our larger society. Today we remain committed to pushing the boundaries of current thinking and perception. We are inspired by the bravery and determination of people with disabilities in the face of stigma and social constraints. We are allies. We stand with people who have disabilities to confront barriers and reach beyond what is now to achieve full inclusion in our communities. We believe in the inherent value of all people. We are better for the bonds developed through our work. We are strengthened by our transparency and vulnerability – knowing we will not always get it right, and that failure is a necessary part of progress. We elevate voices and champion choices. We stand together as One.
Serving more than 250 individuals, we prioritize personal choice and community involvement through services rooted in our core values of solidarity, confident humility, and relentless disruption. With a dedicated team of approximately 400 employees and volunteers, we extend our impact across 20 Iowa communities.
