“As a wheelchair user, I constantly face accessibility challenges, so my disability has taught me how to view problems differently and come up with unique solutions,” says Arielle Rausin, United Spinal’s Director of Chapter and Hospital Network.

For disabled professionals, living with a disability often offers graduate-level training in creativity, problem-solving, and effective communication — exactly the kind of skills needed to excel in the workplace.

At United Spinal, wheelchair users make up 40% of our program staff and 50% of our board. Read more about how inclusive workplaces help people with disabilities bring our whole selves, and all our skills, to work.

Last week The Arc of Illinois Executive Director Samantha Alloway and IARF President & CEO Josh Evans testified in support of HB 4969 - legislation seeking to fund remaining Guidehouse Rate Study items in the state fiscal year 2027 budget - sponsored by State Representative Laura Faver Dias. Nearly 1,400 witness slips were filed by the disability community, again showing that few issues that come before the General Assembly garner as much support as funding for disability services and supports.

Thank you to the community for its incredible support and our bi-partisan champions in the Illinois House Democratic Caucus and Illinois House Republicans
