MISSION STATEMENT

The Good Shephard, Inc. is a New York State Office of People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) approved and regulated not-for-profit voluntary agency. We provide supportive and habilitation services to people with developmental disabilities with a goal to assist these individuals to attain their individual life goals including that of being able to remain in the community, and to live as independently as possible. The Good Shephard Inc. begins with a belief that all individuals have the potential for growth and personal development regardless of their disability, and at any age.

Further, we believe that each person is entitled to a meaningful life enabling individuals  to pursue their goals. In light of this, we believe that each person should have a continuous circle of support to pursue their goals and future aspirations. Each person should live in a home as freely  as possible, in an atmosphere of uninterrupted enjoyment, warmth, understanding, and security, which uphold the right of each person and provides development opportunities on an individual and group basis. From time to time, these reality-based programs might require review and refinement as each person’s needs and goals change and reflect their current life circumstances.
