Our Mission & Principles
We believe that people with disabilities have the same birthrights as any other human beings.
We are dedicated to the principles that all adults with disabilities have:
The same rights as all other persons;
The right to be recognized for their potential to learn;
The right to self-advocacy and individual choice;
The right to contribute to, and be included in, all aspects of the community;
The right to receive quality services that result in their becoming independent, productive, and integrated citizens;
And to involve their families, care givers, or significant others in their lives.
With this mission come these intrinsic goals:
Educate the community to the value and contributions of people that are differently-abled.
Advocate for their rights and report mistreatment, abuse or neglect.
Promote successful inclusion and opportunities for people with disabilities facilitating advancement, achievement, and joyful lives.
Joseph M. Howard
Founded Howard Prep (formerly known as Howard Training Center) six decades ago with the goal of helping differently-abled citizens find their place in the community.
As the father of a disabled child, Mr. Howard saw the need directly for a place people can go to learn, grow, and connect with people.
We honor Mr. Howard’s legacy every day through our ongoing commitment to our clients and building a better understanding of adults with disabilities.
