Struggling with the winter blues? Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is depression triggered by seasonal changes, usually starting in the fall and lasting through winter, draining your energy and affecting your mood, especially during the holidays.

To help, Assistive Technology Support Specialist Justin Fuller-Green has put together a SAD Emergency Toolkit! This kit includes light therapy lamps to imitate sunlight, weighted blankets for comfort, stress-relief activities like coloring books and fidgets, mood-tracking apps, fitness motivators, and sleep aids. The goal is to create a supportive, accessible space that makes it easier to cope with winter’s unique challenges.

Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities! According to the United Nations, there are 1.3 billion people with disabilities around the world. That comes out to 16% of the world population.

This year, the UN's theme for International Day of Persons with Disabilities is "Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress." At Tools for Life, we support inclusion with the support of assistive technology solutions so everyone can live, learn, work, and play independently in the communities of their choice!

Happy Veterans Day!

Last week, Christie George and Lauren Lee represented the Center for Inclusive Design and Innovation and Tools for Life at the City of Atlanta Veterans Recognition Ceremony. They hosted a resource table and participated in the Veterans Stroll to the Georgia Department of Veterans Service, where a ceremony was held to honor fallen soldiers.

The event celebrated local veterans, provided access to valuable resources, and encouraged exhibitors to wear camouflage or attire inspired by the different branches of military service.

We are grateful for the opportunity to support our veterans and honor those who have made such great sacrifices for our country.

What an incredible evening at the Marietta City Schools Transition Fair last week!

Tools for Life was represented by Justin Fuller-Green and Kayla Malone, as families, students, and community partners came together at Marietta High School to explore pathways for life after high school. From internships and independent living resources to career and educational opportunities, the fair was packed with valuable information tailored to students in transition programs.

Special thanks to all the organizations that shared their expertise and to our dedicated educators and staff who made this event possible. Together, we’re building bridges to brighter futures!
