Amazing what a difference assistive technology makes in the lives of people with disabilities!

Kevin Sullivan has a rare condition that requires him to receive care every morning, afternoon and night, but the Illinois man has found many ways to maintain his own independence.

Join us Tuesday, Nov 11 at 4:00pm for Connect & Play.

It’s the perfect midweek pick-me-up after a long day. Come and enjoy good company, sweet treats, and a fun way to connect with others who understand the journey.

Did you know October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month?

October marks National Disability Employment Awareness Month, a time when we come together to celebrate the abilities and contributions of individuals with disabilities in the workforce.

NDEAM is a nationwide campaign that promotes the inclusion of individuals with disabilities in all aspects of employment. It's about recognizing their talents and the value they bring to the workplace.

Throughout the month we will be sharing resources and information on inclusive employment and how you can participate in your communities.

Check out the U.S. Department of Labor official webpage for NDEAM on resources to celebrate the month: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/odep/initiatives/ndeam
