At FAIM, we believe in the declaration that citizenship is the right of persons with disabilities, and that every individual has the right to live a life of dignity; to feel accepted by others, to be treated with respect and to have the opportunity to take risks. Every individual has the right to live in an environment that allows these needs to be met.

The overall goal and purpose of FAIM is to assist in the integration of persons with disabilities into existing social and economic structures; to guide and enable the recipient to make informed decisions about their needs, goals and objectives; that are directed towards achieving results that are appropriate, safe and cost effective.

FAIM believes that:

• The person and their family must be involved in the service planning, with particular emphasis on meaningful participation in community and overall quality of life.
• The right of choice and dignity shall be respected at all stages of service planning and provision.
• The person should be encouraged to seek fulfillment by engaging in all aspects of society, and to strive to meet their own obligations within society.
• All clients shall have the right to services without distinction or discrimination and shall be directed toward existing services wherever possible; including family, personal and community support networks.
