The mission of La Vida Felicidad, Inc is life quality for individuals and families with special needs through individualized family services that promote full participation in the community, independence, and well-being. La Vida Felicidad, Inc was organized in 1983 with special funding (Department of Health) by the state legislature to provide early intervention services to children in Valencia County ages birth through 5 years with special needs. After the public school age for children with special needs was lowered to include 3 and 4 year old children, La Vida Felicidad, Inc contracted for several years with the Los Lunas Public Schools and the Belen Public Schools until those school systems were ready to assume complete responsibility for such services. In 1990, the Department of Health requested La Vida Felicidad, Inc to begin the provision of early intervention services to children, birth through three years old with/at risk for disabilities residing in Socorro County.
