People First of Louisiana Mission Statement

People First of Louisiana supports people with disabilities to empower themselves in becoming effective decision makers, to gain more independence, and enjoy life as equal citizens of the United States of America.

Disability is Natural

Disability is a natural part of the human experience and in no way diminishes the right of individuals to:

  • live independently;
  • enjoy self-determination;
  • make choices;
  • contribute to society;
  • pursue meaningful careers; and
  • enjoy full inclusion and integration in the economic, political, social, cultural, and educational mainstream of American society.  (Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act)
