VISION FOR EQUALITY
Services
The PA Family Network services are achieved by providing family workshops, networking opportunities and individual mentoring sessions throughout the Commonwealth, led by trained Family Advisors, all of whom have family members with disabilities. Our Family Advisors are located in four (4) regions throughout the state of Pennsylvania: West, Central, Northeast and Southeast. To see who the Advisors are in your region, click here. Our services are available everywhere in Pennsylvania. In addition, some of our Advisors speak Spanish so workshops and mentoring sessions are also offered in Spanish.
Latino Services of Vision for EQuality, Inc. advances information, advocacy, training and resources to ensure that the Hispanic community has the knowledge and tools needed to make well-informed choices to improve their quality of life across Pennsylvania. While VFE has been a leader in providing accurate and valuable information to individuals with disabilities and their families for many years, Latino Services works to provide the same access to training and technical assistance for the Spanish speaking community. This work has enabled many families with limited English proficiency to enhance their abilities and close the cultural gap so that they have a better opportunity to connect with needed programs, services, and providers.
Vision for Equality’s Advocacy Department believes that all people have the fundamental moral, civil, and constitutional right to live, learn, work, play, and worship in safe and healthy communities of their choosing. We believe advocacy is vital to improving and sustaining the quality of life for all persons with autism and intellectual disabilities. The Department’s principal goal is to provide effective advocacy for people with disabilities and their families. Vision’s advocates work tirelessly to forward an agenda that targets quality outcomes in people’s lives and advances empowerment through self- determination and choice. Vision for Equality’s Advocacy Department maintains an independent critical viewpoint focused on the rights and well-being of the individual, unabridged by outside influences. We act as collaborators, problem solvers, facilitators, negotiators, and mediators always keeping in mind the best interests of the individual for whom we are advocating.
