Mission Statement
The mission of Reaching Maximum Independence (RMI) is to assist individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) reach their maximum level of independence. RMI strives to empower these individuals by unlocking their full potential for independence.
About This Cause
Our vision is to empower all individuals with IDD to reach their maximum level of independence. RMI actively fosters the development of critical, social, and academic skills, empowering each person to live as independently as possible. As a dynamic participant in the San Antonio community, we advocate for Inclusion and opportunities for individuals with disabilities. With a team of dedicated individuals, RMI is an industry leader, demonstrating innovative solutions to meet the changing needs of families in our community. A group of families established RMI to support their loved ones with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Rather than focusing solely on the Medicaid Model of support service delivery, RMI also offers enhanced customized and private pay options that are reactive to clients' and families' changing needs and expectations. Our focus is on building independence and facilitating Inclusion rather than caregiving. RMI recognizes that it provides a service not only to those with IDD but also to their families. RMI's philosophy is Inclusion. We believe that all individuals should be able to fully engage in and benefit from all the resources and activities available within their community. RMI programs are community-based, within non-institutional, well-maintained settings, and located in middle-income neighborhoods. Our staff challenges individuals to take risks appropriately to foster individual growth while fully engaging in their community, creating a sense of connection and Inclusion. RMI supports the growth and development of individuals with IDD and other related disabilities with: 1) Residential options include in-home support, group homes, supported apartment programs, and foster services, allowing individuals with IDD and their families to choose the residential option that best meets their needs. 2) RMI's Life Enrichment Day Programs provide opportunities for adults with IDD to learn, work, volunteer, and have fun as active members of the community. Participants in the program work on developing life and vocational skills to enable them to grow on their journey toward maximum independence.
