Our incredible team at The Assistive Technology Lab recently presented at the statewide assistive technology conference hosted by the Oregon Technology Access Program. Educators, therapists, and families from across the state attended virtually.

The AT Lab presented on Writing for All-- how to make writing accessible to all students regardless of ability. There are so many different ways to write: with a pencil, using a letterboard, with a communication device, and more! Everyone is an author. Please contact us for more information on adaptive writing!

Our team in Employment Connections first connected with Beth this winter. We were so excited to finally accompany her to a job interview at Fred Meyer this past month. We know she was going to do great, but were even more impressed when she was offered a job right on the spot!

She shared with us: 

"I am so excited about getting this job! I'm glad that I can help out with paying the bills at home now and that I have a job so close I can walk to and from work. I shop here [at Fred Meyer] often, so I already know the people and they are so friendly. I can't wait to be out of the training phase and have a good work routine down!"  

Congratulations, Beth!

We are so thrilled to announce the completion of our first accessory dwelling unit (ADU), one of the new ways we hope to offer safe, independent and affordable housing to people with disabilities in our community.

Amy is thrilled to have a place of her own! For her adult life, she has been living with family and then in a house with multiple roommates. She told us that she never thought her dream of having her own place would come true...but it has now!
