We’ve been focused on one mission since 1977:
“To help create a society in which all persons who come into contact with human service or correctional systems are provided an environment of individual care, concern, and treatment. NCIA is dedicated to developing quality programs and professional services that advocate timely intervention and unconditional care.”
With an individual focus grounded in a community perspective, this social justice mission has remained true for the past four and a half decades, helping adults with disabilities, youth with disabilities, and returning citizens and SNAP recipients lead fulfilling, meaningful lives that benefit them, their families, and the greater community. We look forward to providing essential disability advocacy, support, and care to continue this mission.
NCIA’s Vision
Together with this mission, we adhere to an important social justice vision as well:
We aim to Make a Difference by providing exceptional services to each and every individual. We strive to:
- Be the service provider of choice as evaluated by our customers (government referring and licensing agencies and private clients) and by the outcome measures for those we serve.
- Be the employer of choice as determined by those who wish a career in the human services field and by our employee retention record.
- Be a significant factor in addressing the social issues that are the heart of our mission.
With our mission and vision to guide us, we can be the force that helps recipients expand their experiences, exceed their highest potential, and excel in their lives. We can help them be extraordinary.
