IRI Embraces:
Innovation—we have earned a reputation for finding innovative solutions that address the complex needs of individuals with developmental disabilities (IDD).
Resourcefulness—as a trusted, capable partner, we listen carefully to each individual and think without boundaries in response to the goals and dreams of each person we serve.
Independence—we are changing the once-static model for caring for the IDD community and we find better, often trans-formative, options to help individuals live rewarding lives.
