Every Day Life means that every person with disabilities has the right to have the same kind of life as anyone else. SAU1’s mission is to support the self advocacy of people with disabilities for positive impact in our communities and in people’s lives. To the SAU1 members, that means helping everyone to have an everyday life.

• Freedom of speech, to tell people what you want and need in your life without fear
• Having all of your rights respected
• Having access to all public places and services
• Being respected and accepted for what you can do and who you are; and
