First In Families

First In Families of Southeastern NC

Five County First In Families

First In Families:

We promote and practice customer leadership.
Since we believe that people with disabilities are the experts in what they need, our statewide and local boards are comprised of a majority of people with disabilities and their family members.
We believe that people with disabilities and their families are very knowledgeable, and have much to contribute to society. However, they are often viewed by society as needy and sad.
We have seen that often a small amount of the right support makes the difference between a satisfying and self-determined life or one of mere survival

We Believe:

People with disabilities and their families should have the right to make independent choices and decisions about their lives
Service delivery systems should be customer focused, flexible and incorporate the principles of self-determination
Services delivery systems should be responsive and sensitive to the particular needs of the individuals with disabilities and/or their families
