Empowering individuals with disabilities to live the life they choose with the supports they direct.

We provide a full array of services throughout a person's life span. We believe that people with disabilities can and should be valued members of their community and we strive to make this a reality for every individual we serve.

Isaac Cryer, Mike Strauss, and Amanda Elder presented at the AADD Fall Face-to-Face meeting yesterday in Anchorage, sharing the outcomes of our pilot project in collaboration with GoodLife.
We channeled the wisdom of Yoda to inspire others to “unlearn what you have learned” — challenging ourselves and our peers to think differently about how we approach this work. In the words of Yoda: “Do. Or do not. There is no try.”

We recognized Michelle Davidson last night, recipient of the Aging and Disability Trailblazing Award🏆✨✨
Michelle has been a lifelong advocate. In the past, her advocacy was sometimes misunderstood, but today she is a respected national presenter—teaching leaders about the importance and impact of including people with disabilities in decision-making.
As an employee, Michelle shares her powerful perspective by training Direct Support Professionals on what quality support looks like from the client’s point of view. She also serves on the Board of Frontier Community Services.
Michelle truly embodies self-determination and the belief that people with disabilities should be treated as if they didn’t have one.
Thank you for the work you do and congratulations Michelle!! 💚
