❄️ What do we do on a cold winter day?
We warm things up with some cooking through our Daily Living Life Skills program! 🍳✨

Today we prepped, cooked, and—of course—wrapped it all up with the most important step: clean up! 🧼🫧

Doing the dishes is all part of building independence and learning everyday skills.

Proud of the hard work and great teamwork today!

The 29th Annual Legislative Breakfast was held this morning at UWGB, and ESI was honored to serve as one of the co‑sponsoring agencies for the event. We extend our sincere thanks to Aspiro for organizing the gathering, as well as to the elected officials who attended and took the time to listen as the Lamers and Early families shared their powerful stories. Together, we can make a meaningful difference! ✨
