Person-Centered
The individual is at the center of the service. We listen to what matters to each person and support their preferences, goals, routines, and choices.
ABOUT SKYWARD
People first.
Always moving forward.
Skyward is an Oregon-based provider supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We believe great support begins with seeing the individual first—their choices, goals, relationships, strengths, and vision for their own life.
WHO WE ARE
A higher standard
starts with how we see people.
Skyward exists to provide dependable, individualized support while protecting something even more important: each person's right to have a meaningful voice in their own life.
We believe support should create opportunity. That means helping people build independence, participate in their communities, develop relationships, pursue personal goals, and make meaningful choices about everyday life.
Our role is not to define what a good life should look like for someone else. Our role is to listen, support, encourage, and help create the conditions where each person can move toward the life they want.
✦
Every person deserves to be known
for more than the support they need.
THE SKYWARD APPROACH
Support with purpose.
Our approach is grounded in a few simple ideas that shape how we serve people, work with families, and build our teams.
Independence
Good support should help people do more for themselves whenever possible, while providing dependable assistance where it is needed.
Dignity & Respect
People deserve privacy, respect, meaningful choice, and support that recognizes their rights and individuality.
Community
We believe people should have opportunities for real relationships, meaningful experiences, and genuine participation in their communities.
Safety & Quality
We work to provide consistent, responsible support that promotes health, safety, well-being, and dependable service.
Growth
We believe in progress—for the people we support and for ourselves. We keep learning, improving, and looking for better ways to serve.
OUR VISION
Opportunity changes lives.
We want the people we support to have opportunities to make choices, try new things, build skills, form relationships, participate in their communities, and experience a life that feels like their own.
