Casa Rio

Shangri-La is an organization founded in 1963 dedicated to serving individuals with disabilities or disadvantages so they may recognize and achieve their potential. The organization works toward communities where all people are accepted for their abilities and celebrated for their successes. Shangri-La's approach is guided by core values including curiosity about what makes people thrive, creating safe spaces for respectful individuality, showing up and going the distance through solution-focused work, caring for relationships and resources, and leading change toward accessibility and inclusion. The organization emphasizes doing with individuals rather than for them, and maintains a commitment to personal achievement, contribution, independence, and enriching lives.
