            The People We Serve
We celebrate our diversity as a group of nearly 200 people with a wide range of individual skills, strengths and challenges.  At WCI we are respected and valued for our uniqueness, ideas, dreams, and goals.  WCI staff support us to live and work within the communities of our choice, Waltham, Belmont, Watertown, Arlington, Newton and Malden with independence and dignity.

WCI staff help us to achieve success by providing us with quality services, and seeking to improve accessibility, accountability, and coordination of these services among professionals, care-givers and across agencies.  Staff support us to live as independently as possible on a daily basis.  They listen to us, talk to us and read our behavior.  They are our eyes and ears for some of us.  They are our family, teacher and coaches.  These supports range from day to day assistance with reading, cooking, and budgeting to hands-on daily personal care needs.  We participate regularly in selecting our goals and evaluating our progress.  Specialized services are here for our growth so we might become more skillful in communication, relationships and self-discipline.

Maintaining relationships with those people in our lives who are important to us is just another way WCI staff help us navigate through social systems: groups, organizations, community and society.  They help us to cultivate new friendships and get involved in community activities.  Many of us go on vacations together, attend adult education classes, sports activities, and participate in cultural events, spiritual services and a variety of other community events.  Our lives reflect our preferences, values, desires, lifestyle and goals.  We are WCI.
