Issue Area: Access and Accommodation
Breathing a Little Bit Easier
We worked with Wendy to successfully request both a structural modification to her windows and an accommodation to the building policy so she could use a window unit once her windows were changed. Now Wendy can breathe better and feels more secure in her apartment.
Regaining Access to His Community
We were able to get the railroad company to fix its tracks so that James can once again safely and independently go to and from town.

We helped Tom develop a plan to make sure that he would be fully supported during future visits to the hospital.
Accessing an Afterschool Program
After being denied access to an after school program because she uses a wheelchair, Ella is successfully attending and enjoying the program along with her friends and peers.
