Dignity and Respect for All

In November 1956, the Stratford Home and School Council appointed a
committee to investigate how best to serve special needs children, who were at
that time excluded from the public school system. Thus was the “community
living” movement born in Stratford. The committee, led by Eileen Langley,
eventually oversaw the opening of a school for children with disabilities (1957),
sheltered workshops (1966) and a residential home (1975).

In 1989 our agency adopted the title Community Living, formalizing philosophies
and principles already well established. Our entire history is documented in our
50th anniversary report, and we invite you to look further at a movement that
has brought respect and dignity to peoplewith disabilities, and opened many
eyes to the fact that we all want the same things in life.

Today, Community Living Stratford and Area provides a wide variety of supports to
over 120 adults.

Vision Statement:

“That all people are valued and live as contributing citizens in their community. People Belong."

Mission:

Community Living Stratford and Area is a non-profit Organization that provides person-centered supports, services and advocacy for adults who have a developmental disability, so that they may live as empowered citizens in their community. 

Statement of Beliefs:

• We believe all people are unique and planning starts from a position of dignity, respect and caring.
• We believe in supporting people in acheiving the best quality of life possible, given the allocation of funds provided by the government.
• We believe all people have the right to take risks in making choices. Our responsibility is to ensure that people are supported to make informed choices based on experience.
• We believe all people grow and change. We will encourage, support and respond to change.
