BAROCO'S MISSION STATEMENT       
      Founded in 1983, Baroco (pronounced Bear-ra-koe)  has dedicated itself to providing innovative opportunities to help people with disabilities participate in and contribute to their communities.   Inherent in this dedication is the recognition that the people we serve have the right to make choices and decisions as well as the right to be treated, at all times, in a dignified manner. 
      Baroco recognizes its responsibility to enhance public awareness and to promote the presence,  participation and integration of the people we serve into their communities. We understand the need to ensure that our services respect the unique cultural and ethnic diversity present throughout our society.  Baroco also recognizes, and embraces, the importance of family participation in the lives of the people we serve.    Finally,  we understand our ongoing responsibility to monitor and evaluate our services to ensure that our evolution meets the needs of consumers.
