Vision-Mission

Vision We envision a Texas where the health and human services delivery system is a partnership of consumers, family members, service providers, advocates, and policy makers working to create service options for all individuals with mental retardation and other developmental disabilities (MR/DD) which are flexible, dependable, accessible, cost effective, and which promote individuals’ choices.

Mission The Mission of the Private Providers Association of Texas is to:

advocate and assist in the development and provision of community-based services;
promote the delivery of the highest quality services;
advocate for a service delivery system which ensures responsible funding levels;
promote a service delivery system which is accessible; and
propose and support initiatives which encompass the Association’s vision.

Values & Guiding Principles The Private Providers Association of Texas advocates the following:

Consumer: The individual receiving the services must be foremost.

Providers: Providers must be accountable and professional in the services they deliver and the businesses they operate.

Choice: An array of adequately funded services must be available to support individuals with developmental disabilities.

Quality: The provider of the service must ensure the highest quality of services and the system must support this quality.

Efficiency: The system must support responsible funding levels and promote efficiency in service delivery.

Service Delivery System: The system must promote the continued privatization of the service delivery system.

Teamwork: The system must support and foster collaborative relationships with service providers, consumers, family members, and other individuals and entities, who have an interest in developmental disability services.

Accountability: The system must be held accountable to individuals for whom services are being provided and to the public at large.
