Weโ€™re still smiling as we look back on the incredible memories from Night to Shine this February. The evening was filled with joy, laughter, dancing, and unforgettable moments as our community came together to celebrate individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

From red carpet arrivals to time spent on the dance floor, every part of the night reflected what makes this event so meaningfulโ€”connection, celebration, and making sure everyone feels valued and seen.

A special thank you to Grace Point Fellowship for hosting such a beautiful and welcoming event, and to all of the volunteers, families, and community partners who helped make the evening so memorable.

Moments like these remind us how powerful it is when a community comes together to celebrate one another. ๐Ÿ’™โœจ

More than five decades ago, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) changed the future of education in America. Now in its 51st year, IDEA continues to ensure that students with disabilities have access to a free and appropriate public education โ€” opening doors that once remained closed.

Because of IDEA, students receive individualized education programs (IEPs), specialized supports, and access to inclusive classrooms where they can learn, build confidence, and develop skills alongside their peers.

This legislation didnโ€™t just reshape schools โ€” it strengthened communities. Inclusive education creates pathways to employment, independence, and lifelong opportunity for people with disabilities.

While we celebrate how far weโ€™ve come, we also recognize the importance of continuing to advocate for equity, access, and meaningful inclusion in every classroom.

At IMPACT of Oregon, we see every day how early support and inclusive opportunities help build stronger futures.

๐Ÿ’ฌ How has inclusive education impacted your life or someone you know?

โ€œIt fills my cup.โ€ ๐Ÿ’›

โ€œI love being a DSP because I can build these relationships with my clients, and I know I'm an important part in their daily life. And it fills my cup knowing that I'm helping somebody every day to be their better self.โ€

โ€” Ammber Wells, Direct Support Professional, with Clients Leena & Layah

At IMPACT of Oregon, being a DSP goes beyond daily support โ€” itโ€™s about connection, consistency, and walking alongside individuals as they grow, thrive, and reach their goals.

Ammberโ€™s words speak to the deeper purpose of being a DSP. Itโ€™s the trust, consistency, and genuine connection that turn everyday moments into meaningful, lasting impact.

We are so grateful for dedicated team members like Ammber who show up with compassion, purpose, and heart every single day. ๐Ÿ’ซ

Our February newsletter is full of celebration, reflection, and community connection.

๐Ÿ–ค February is also Black History Month, and we are proud to highlight innovators, leaders, and trailblazers whose contributions continue to shape our world.

โœจ January Recap:
We kicked off 2026 strong with Impact Craft Days across counties, an Open House at our Deschutes office, the Douglas County Winter Ball and Casino Night in Jackson County with raising over $1,800 for Special Olympics!

We are so grateful for our community, partners, staff and the individuals and families we support every day.

Since joining IMPACT, Joey has built a strong and meaningful connection with Alivia through consistent, person-centered support. Together, they enjoy keeping things low key โ€” window shopping, exploring around town, and trying new activities that encourage confidence and independence.

Joey and Alivia regularly attend DDS events and recently joined an epoxy resin group, creating opportunities for creativity and community connection. Aliviaโ€™s love for all things Pokรฉmon also shines through, with Pokรฉmon Go becoming a favorite way for them to stay active and engaged together.

Aliviaโ€™s outgoing personality, great sense of humor, and genuine kindness make every interaction special. At IMPACT of Oregon, weโ€™re grateful for DSPs like Joey who build trusting relationships and help create meaningful experiences that support growth, connection, and joy. ๐Ÿ’™
