ASANC is about bringing the concepts of self-advocacy together with the self-determination of its members to help people with developmental disabilities to take responsibility for their lives, and bring about change towards full inclusion in society.

Self-advocacy is the ability to advocate for one’s rights of equality and freedom. It involves recognizing the specific needs of one's developmental disability and determining how an individual wants to live independently, make personal choices and live in their community, without compromising the dignity of oneself or others. 

People with self-determination know about their strengths, likes, and dislikes, set goals to achieve, make their own decisions, and are in control of their successes.  They respect themselves and others, believe they have and can make choices, take ownership for their actions, develop a network for achieving their goals and assume responsibility for their roles in society.
