Time flies, but gratitude is forever

First Job for Jackson

July 31, 2018 By Rene

Vocational research on special populations shows that young adults with disabilities that hold paid employment by age 18 have a much greater chance of being employed as an adult.

End of the Year Thoughts

May 31, 2018 By Rene

Well, friends, it’s the end of another school year. At this time of year, I always take stock of how far we’ve come and how much we still have to accomplish, Jackson and me, on his march to independence. We have three years left to achieve this before we are done with public school. All […]
