We would like to give a spotlight to La Petite Academy for being a supportive employer!

We spoke with Director Jordynn and Assistant Director Kennedy to hear more about their experience employing an individual served by the Warren County Board of Developmental Disabilities.

“We got a great employee, and her dream is to work with children! We got to give her this opportunity; and we get to be a part of furthering her career and education, as we are providing her with a CDA (child development associate), which is a widely recognized, national certification in early childhood education (ECE) for professionals working with children and comes with a pay raise! The CDA also qualifies her for qualified lead teacher role in the State of Ohio. It also qualifies her to some day move into a management role.”

Thank you, La Petite Academy!

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.

This week, we are showcasing Guided Hands, a versatile assistive technology tool designed to empower individuals with hand weakness but adequate shoulder mobility.

Guided Hands can be used in countless ways to support independence and creativity, including:

✏Writing or drawing with greater control
✏Painting or other artistic expression
✏Navigating tablets or iPads for learning, communication, or entertainment
✏Exploring any activity where hand weakness limits participation

The beauty of Guided Hands is its flexibility and adaptability- users can find the method that works best for them, turning everyday tasks or hobbies into accessible, enjoyable experiences.

By providing the right support at the shoulder and arm level, Guided hands enables users to engage, create, and communicate in ways that might not be possible otherwise.

Stay tuned as we continue to highlight more innovative tools inside the SMART Studio that open new possibilities for independence and participation.
