We celebrate the unique gifts of all, and we facilitate the development of interests, skills, connections, and support to achieve personal goals. The organization was founded in 1968 through a local grassroots effort of parents of children with disabilities and organizations who envisioned a community that welcomed and offered opportunity to individuals with disabilities rather than sending them to state-run institutions. SIRS continues to advocate for and implement best-practice, quality services for people with disabilities.
