Hello, I am the Director of Supported Employment at The Arc Quinebaug Valley in Danielson, CT. I am looking forward to this class because we have many people within our program who have the ability to be employable that I feel we have not given enough of a chance to because we have been unsure of how to accommodate them.  I would love to have more knowledge of AT in order to better support the individuals within my program.  See you all tomorrow!

Hello!  I am one of the lifers who has been working toward  diminishing barriers, both natural and those imposed by society, for the past 25 years.  The answer to the age old question of "What do we call someone in our services?" always seemed obvious to me and I continue to be chagrined that we continue to address this and all of the other created barriers that it represents.  For those who may not know, the answer is their name.  We identify all people by their name.  This course has the potential to help provide  another piece of independence and increased dignity for many who might need it.  For that, I am all in!
I currently work for Midstate Arc as a Residential Coordinator, supervising and supporting residential managers.
