Celebrating one of the very best today! 💙

Kelly was recently recognized with a CASE Award, and it couldn’t be more well-deserved. She truly embodies what it means to lead with connection, advocacy, support, and excellence in her role as a DSP with Learning Opportunities/Quality Works, Inc.

When an individual she supports transitioned from a nursing home back into her own home, Kelly recognized that while this was a positive step, it could also feel isolating. Without hesitation, she went above and beyond, inviting her to attend the Community Life Engagement Conference in Kirksville. Even though this opportunity fell outside of funded services and wasn’t compensated, Kelly focused on what mattered most: meaningful connection and quality of life.

Because of Kelly, this individual was able to re-engage with her community and experience something truly special beyond the walls of her home. That’s the kind of impact that lasts.

This photo says it all; standing proudly beside Kelly is someone she supports through job coaching, who was so excited and proud to celebrate her moment. ❤️

Kelly doesn’t just meet expectations, she exceeds them in ways that change lives. We are so proud to work with her and grateful for the heart she brings to her work every single day.

👏 Congratulations, Kelly!

Nicole Donaubauer (County Connections), Wendy Schnelle Hays (LOQW), and Melissa Schnelle Johns (LOQW) had the opportunity to attend the National ANCOR Conference in Boston this week!

This year’s theme, “Navigating the Now,” focused on meeting today’s challenges with innovation, flexibility, and collaboration in order to strengthen supports for individuals with disabilities. We spent time networking with professionals from across the country, sharing ideas, and gaining valuable insights to bring back to our team.

We’re excited to put what we’ve learned into action and continue enhancing the quality of services we provide! 💙

*Meet Hayley Berry!*

She joined our Macon office in February as our new Community Resource Specialist.

Hayley graduated from Northwest Missouri State University with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a minor in Communication. Hayley is passionate about helping others become the best version of themselves.

Hayley is a small-town girl from Atlanta, Missouri, which she still proudly calls home. She has an adorable son, Brooks, who is the center of her world. She loves being a boy mom and enjoys spending time at the park, playing dinosaurs, and even teeing off on the golf course.

Hayley is very family-oriented and has a huge heart. Fun fact: she once woke up early to make cookies for a coworker’s birthday, only to find out it wasn’t until later that month. She had only been here about a month, but that’s just the kind of thoughtful person she is.

We are so grateful to have your on our team!

When we think of assistive technology, we often picture high-tech, expensive gadgets. But assistive technology doesn’t have to be fancy to be effective.

Our friend Ellie has found simple tools that help her regulate when her emotions start to feel overwhelming:

A weighted blanket provides deep pressure stimulation, similar to a firm, gentle hug. This can promote relaxation and improve sleep.

Noise-canceling headphones help reduce sensory overload by minimizing constant background sounds. This can increase comfort, improve focus, and support emotional regulation in busy or noisy environments.

A sensory light creates a calming space by replacing harsh lighting with soft, adjustable visual input. This can reduce anxiety, support focus, and provide a safe, soothing sensory experience.

A rocking chair offers gentle, rhythmic motion that helps the body feel grounded. This movement can promote relaxation and support self-regulation.

Assistive technology is about meeting individual needs—and sometimes, the simplest tools can make the biggest difference.

💙 Motivation Monday 💙

We are so proud to recognize three of our amazing Service Coordinators—Brenda Arp, Holly Lindsey Klusmeyer, and Suzanne Saunders Vonthun—for giving back to their community by volunteering at the Bethel Food Pantry!

Their willingness to step up and serve others is a true reflection of what it means to be part of something bigger. Supporting our communities goes beyond our day-to-day roles, it’s about showing up, lending a hand, and making a difference wherever it’s needed.

Acts of kindness like this remind us that even the smallest efforts can have a big impact.

Thank you, Brenda, Holly, and Suzanne, for representing our team with such compassion and heart. You are an inspiration to us all!

Happy Birthday to the one who does it all, Nicole Donaubauer!

Nicole brings a rare balance of strength and compassion to her role. She is fierce in her advocacy and leadership, yet leads with kindness and respect for those around her. She never backs down from a challenge and consistently steps forward when things need to get done.

Nicole is always willing to learn, grow, and try new approaches, which keeps our team moving forward and improving. Whether it’s supporting her staff, problem-solving complex situations, or jumping in wherever she’s needed, she shows up fully every single time.

When she is not being a fierce leader she is at home being a rock star mom with those cute boys of hers. We hope you have the best day, you definitely deserve it!

💙 Teamwork Tuesday 💙

As we continue celebrating Autism Awareness & Acceptance Month, today we’re proud to highlight a team member who truly brings our mission to life, Service Coordinator Jeff Gares, our latest CASE Award recipient!

Jeff exemplifies Connection, Advocacy, Support, and Excellence in every sense. When faced with a family in crisis, he immediately stepped in, collaborating with community partners, navigating resources, and working tirelessly to ensure safety and stability.

His compassion, quick action, and commitment to inclusion remind us what this month is all about; making sure every individual and family feels supported, valued, and never alone.

And in true Jeff fashion, even when the unexpected completely flipped his day upside down, he handled it with determination (and maybe just a little grumbling 😉) and got it done.

Jeff, thank you for being the kind of teammate and advocate who makes a lasting difference. We are so proud of you and grateful to have you on our team. 👏

We love seeing our community come together in ways that make everyone feel included 💙❤️

Tomorrow in Atlanta, there will be an Inclusive Easter Egg Hunt; an event designed for all ages and all abilities, with something for everyone to enjoy!

We’re especially proud of some of our friends who helped volunteer their time stuffing Easter eggs for the hunt. Their efforts are a great reminder that inclusion isn’t just something we talk about, it’s something we do.

During Autism Awareness & Acceptance Month, moments like this matter even more. Creating spaces where everyone feels welcome, valued, and able to participate is what true inclusion looks like.

We hope to see the community come out, have fun, and celebrate together 🐣🌷
