Guess what? Disney+ just dropped a heartwarming movie about a sixth grader with cerebral palsy, and it’s a MUST-watch! It’s a reminder that inclusion isn’t just nice — it’s essential. When we make space for people with disabilities in all parts of life, we ALL win. ✨ This movie shows how powerful it is when everyone gets to be part of the story, no matter their abilities. Let's keep making room for more voices, more experiences, and more of what makes us all unique! Grab your popcorn and check it out! 🍿🎥 https://bit.ly/3OivTCG #InclusionForAll #Empowerment #CerebralPalsy #BreakingBarriers

Today is Human Rights Day, a reminder that every person deserves the right to dignity, respect and opportunity. We’re passionate about protecting the rights of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and ensuring that everyone has the chance to live the lives they want to live. It’s not just about the big changes — it's about the everyday actions that support the fundamental rights of every person. So today, we’re reflecting on how far we’ve come and how much more we can do to make sure all people, no matter their abilities, are treated with the respect and fairness they deserve. Let’s keep pushing for a world where human rights are for everyone. #HumanRightsDay #InclusionForAll #eitas #HumanRights #Empowerment #Equality

🌟 Growing up is a big milestone and for families of kids with disabilities. It can be a rollercoaster of emotions and challenges. In an Exceptional Lives blog, they explore the transition to adulthood and how it feels to watch your child go from being a little one to navigating the world as an adult. The shift at age 22, when kids age out of special education and move to adult services, can feel overwhelming. From new living arrangements to less parent involvement, the changes are significant. But it’s not just about our kids. We also need to find ways to care for ourselves during this transition. If you’re on this journey, or just want to understand more about it, check out the full blog for insights and tips on supporting your young adult while also taking care of yourself. ❤️ https://bit.ly/4ea1q4g #TransitionToAdulthood #Eitas #SupportForFamilies

We’re dedicated to supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and recognizing the vital role of I/DD caregivers. November is National Family Caregivers Month so let’s show our appreciation for them.

In our blog post, we highlight common struggles caregivers encounter and share ways that we can help ease those burdens: 💬 Information and Advocacy: We assist with navigating public benefits and connect caregivers to essential resources. 🤝 Support Coordinator Program: Our coordinators help families identify their needs and link them to necessary services. 📚 Training Programs: We offer workshops and training to help caregivers manage the complexities of caring for individuals with I/DD. If you’re a caregiver or know someone who is, check out our blog to learn more about the support available. You’re not alone on this journey! ❤️ https://lnkd.in/gxfD3Nhj #Caregivers #IDD #eitas #CommunitySupport
