Achieving Potential
Through Choice.

A LEGACY OF BARBARA MAIZIE

We provide direct services and advocacy to assist those we serve in achieving their highest level of personal independence and self-sufficiency.

OUR HISTORY

VistAbility is a non-profit community-based organization founded in 1965 by parents and family members of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Over the years, our services have expanded to include people of all ages with developmental disabilities and other complex needs in communities across the East Bay.

& VALUES

VistAbility is dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and mental health needs. We achieve this through our diverse services that support families, foster independence and inspire personal choice.

We carry out our mission through our steadfast commitment to the core values that have guided our efforts since our founding. We focus on providing stable, sustainable, and high quality person-centered services. We promote the right of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to be treated respectfully, and to live in a community that is welcoming and inclusive.. We recognize the importance of our staff, and we strive to create a positive work environment with a spirit of teamwork so that our mission is carried out in an atmosphere of mutual respect, trust, and confidence.
