It started with a Vision - a vision that everyone belongs in the community. Everyone deserves the right to a happy and meaningful life, and everyone’s voice should be heard. Vision for Equality was created in 1996 to support people with intellectual disabilities and their families. What we take for granted: the sense of belonging and acceptance for who we are; having the power, authority and resources to control our own destiny; and having the options and security in our lives are not the norm for people with disabilities. The founders of Vision for Equality vowed to change that reality, and to empower individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families. Today Vision for Equality supports over 350,000 people across Pennsylvania and the USA.
