A determined student’s educational journey is transformed after reaching out to us for assistance.
Success Stories
Looking for Health and Finding Community
Kate loves yoga. She loves the health benefits as well as the community connections she’s made. Yoga has become an important physical and social activity for her. At first, she paid for her classes through a temporary private grant but then she asked her Area Agency to pay as part of her services under the DD Waiver. Her Area Agency was not supportive… at first.
Helping Our Client Carry the Load
Diane, who has orthopedic impairments which limit her mobility, was unable to carry her laundry from her third-floor apartment to the laundry room in the basement of her building without severe back pain.
“I showed them I could do this work”
Dylan reached out to us for assistance and together we were able to work with his employer to make sure that his job requirements were essential to the function of his job. As he reflected upon his successful completion of the job, Dylan said, “I showed them I could do this work”.
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.
A Long Fought For Homecoming
After over twenty years living in an institution, we helped Toni access the supports she needed to live at home in her community.
