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”.
Success Stories
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.
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.
Fighting Against Housing Discrimination
We stepped in when a landlord refused to rent to Kathleen because she has a disability and might require accommodations in the future. Kathleen and her son were able to happily settle in to their new place.
Breaking Free of School-based Restraint Chair
Due to our advocacy, the school district stopped using the restraint chair in the classroom entirely. Sarah’s son is now much happier at school.
