The twin pillars of IASIO Services are: supported stability leading to change, and opportunity to do so. Our strength lies in our ability to adapt to the changing needs of our funders and to the changing landscape of the external environment, while keeping the person central throughout. In this sense IASIO Services represent an important bridge between the socially excluded person and the community, one that is unique in Ireland.
