Employment Counseling
To us, work is more than a job. Work can improve health, stability, social connections, personal satisfaction, and of course, your wallet.
We believe every person with a disability will have the...
OPPORTUNITY to pursue and advance their work goals.
POSSIBILITY to become financially independent.
ABILITY to access healthcare to maintain a high quality of life.
