## Four Decades of Care

For four decades, HASC has been changing lives for the better. In 1963, our founders stepped up to fill a void in the community and created the HASC Center, a comprehensive network of programs and services for children and adults with special needs.

Here at HASC, we believe in the individuals we serve. We believe that every one of them has the potential to lead a meaningful life, and we’ll do anything to get them there. Their inherent greatness is the very source of our inspiration, and everything we do reflects this ideal - the personalized services, the dignity and respect accorded to each individual, and the staff’s untiring dedication to the greatness within.

## Kindness. Warmth. Dignity.

HASC Center is dedicated to providing people with intellectual disabilities the necessary empowerment tools to live as independently as possible, with support offered to the extent that is necessary to meet person-centered outcomes and sustain a quality of life that is productive and meaningful. All of this will be provided within an agency culture that promotes kindness, warmth, sensitivity, and affection.

## Our Mission

At HASC Center our mission is to enable individuals with intellectual disabilities to reach their optimal potential through self-advocacy, behavioral health intervention, and community integration, while providing ongoing support and assistance.

HASC Center encourages all individuals to make practical life choices focused on maximizing possibility — accomplished through an array of individual and family services driven by meaningful connections and ongoing collaboration. Our dedicated team of professionals are trained to see the limitless possibility and qualities inherent in every person.
