Rejecting the one-size-fits-all mentality, we're dedicated to the person-centered philosophy. Every program is a reflection of unique interests and needs.

OUR

VISION

DANI will be a dynamic, proactive, accessible, innovative, and highly collaborative organization that serves adults with developmental disabilities throughout their lifetime ensuring that they each reach their full potential.

OUR

MISSION

DANI’s mission is to deliver a full continuum of person-centred services - including social, recreational, employment training, social enterprises and residential - to adults with developmental disabilities, incorporating Jewish practices and traditions; and integrating into the community, and its service networks.

DANI is a canvas where individuals with developmental disabilities are the artists of their own lives. We’re here to support, not steer, their journey towards their ambitions.

OUR

VALUES

A cluster of four circles with the rightmost circle colored in an orange gradient. The circles are aligned in a triangle formation with the orange one standing out.

Value the Individual

We see and treat everyone for who they really are, recognizing and building on their unique strengths.

A grid of 16 circles, 4 of which are shaded in an orange gradient, forming a diagonal pattern amidst the others in purple hues.

Integrity

We keep it real and honest always, what you see is what you get with us.

Community 

True community integration is our game. It’s not just about being there; it’s about really belonging and making a difference.

Parent Led

Our strategies and initiatives are guided by insights and leadership from parents, ensuring relevance and empathy in our approach.

Innovative

We’re not stuck in old ways. If there’s a better, smarter way to do something, we’re on it.
