Our Mission
Midland’s Mission and Vision
Midland’s mission is to promote personal achievement and foster independence for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) by providing a range of innovative programs.
We are committed to providing a diverse array of innovative and exceptional educational, employment and support services that are highly individualized, community based, and designed for the lifespan of individuals. The individual’s abilities and needs are at the center of all programming decisions. All programs and interactions are designed to be positive and proactive.
Midland’s purpose is to focus its programming and services to the following individuals and groups
The Children
The Midland School is a comprehensive special education program dedicated to the academic, social, emotional, and career education needs of children with I/DD. Its goal is to provide quality programs that enable its students to reach their highest level of achievement and independence allowing them to become contributing members of their communities.
The Adults
Adults with I/DD benefit from programs including employment, job training, day habilitation and residential services. These programs provide services and supports across the lifespan that help the adults served reach their highest level of achievement and become contributing members of their communities.
The Family
Midland values the involvement of the families of people we serve at all levels. Educational programs, discussion groups and family fun activities facilitate this partnership. We learn from each other.
The Staff
Midland staff is our greatest resource. Continuing education, specialized trainings and retention efforts underscore Midland’s commitment to the high quality of our staff. This is another way Midland provides the resources needed to help our children and adults achieve their highest level of achievement and independence.
Other Professional Individuals and Agencies
Midland actively assists families when an individual needs services or supports that are not available through Midland. We help make referrals to other providers, programs or resources. When possible, Midland lends its knowledge and resources to other individuals and agencies in the same or similar fields of endeavor.
