After over twenty years living in an institution, we helped Toni access the supports she needed to live at home in her community.
Success Stories
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.
Accessing Educational Opportunities in High School
We clarified for the school that the education guidelines allow for modifications to enable students with disabilities to participate in vocational programs.
Fighting for Medicaid
We helped to successfully appeal Ryleigh’s ineligibility decision for a children’s Medicaid program.
