Last month, we had a great time up in Columbus for the Winter Games!

We had 19 Warren County swimmers registered for the Winter Games. Most of our swimmers medaled in at least one of their events! We entered 4 relay teams and 2 took home gold 🥇

A special shoutout to Ally! Ally swam a 200 Freestyle, which is 8 laps. She came in 2nd, but she was not able to attend the awards because she had to turn around and do the 100 Backstroke, right after! She won gold in this event! Both of these are incredibly tough and to do them both right after the other is very impressive! Well done, Ally!!

Congratulations to all of our athletes!! Warren County knows how to make a big splash at the games💦🥇

JOIN LUKE5ADVENTURES FOR OUR 2ND ANNUAL TREK AROUND THE CLOCK
FRIDAY–SATURDAY, APRIL 24–25, 2026

The goal of this 24-hour hiking fundraiser is to have at least one Rosie (our adaptive hiking chair) circling a wooded course nonstop for 24 hours while others pursue their own challenge to “stay the course”!

Hikers, sherpas, and trekkers will team up to log as many miles as possible while raising money to “pay it forward” for individuals with disabilities to have awesome, and otherwise impossible, experiences in nature. Our ultimate goal is to, collectively, cover more than 500 miles in 24 hours. Hikers and sherpas sign up for 1-hour time slots.

Hiker: An individual with a disability or mobility challenge who needs assistance by riding in a Rosie chair.

Sherpa: An individual volunteering to be a pusher/puller for the Rosie and will be “on duty” during their designated hours.

Trekker: An individual who walks, hikes, or jogs during the event independently of the Rosie teams while participating in a personal challenge.

As part of our continued focus on supportive technology, we are highlighting the Single Stove Top Induction Burner, a kitchen safety solution that supports greater independence in meal preparation.

Induction burners heat cookware directly, keeping the surface cooler to the touch and significantly reducing the risk of burns. The burner can automatically shut off when cookware is removed, adding an extra layer of safety.

This technology can be especially beneficial for individuals who:

🍳May forget to turn off a traditional stove
🍳Are at increased risk of burns or fire hazards
🍳Benefit from simplified, controlled cooking options
🍳Are building independent cooking skills in a safer environment

Induction burners can be used as a primary cooking surface or as a safer alternative for specific tasks, allowing individuals to practice meal preparation with confidence while maintaining safety.

Stay tuned as we continue to showcase more supportive technology available inside the SMART Studio and how it can enhance everyday living. If you have any questions regarding supportive technology, reach out to Susan Meyer Remote Support and Assistive Technology Coordinator at susan.meyer@warrencountydd.org
