Staff
Many of us have disabilities, and we are committed to supporting those in the disability community as they learn skills and make connections needed to lead a fulfilling life. We lead with empathy, respect, and treating everyone with dignity. We strongly believe that everyone can learn to be independent enough to eventually be in a position to give back to others.
