๐ŸŒŸ At neba, our mission is simple but powerful: to make sure everyone has the chance to belong, contribute, and thrive.

Every day, we walk alongside people with disabilities and other barriers to help them discover their strengths, build confidence, and find meaningful work in their communities. Employment isnโ€™t just a job โ€” itโ€™s connection, purpose, and possibility.

As we head into Giving Tuesday, weโ€™re reflecting on the incredible people we serve and the futures theyโ€™re building. Your support helps make those futures possible. ๐Ÿ’›

When you lift up one person, you strengthen an entire community.

Stay tuned โ€” weโ€™ll be sharing ways you can help advance our mission and open doors for even more individuals this Giving Tuesday.

In this video from Autism Speaks, GW, an autistic self-advocate, asks Chicago locals what challenges they think autistic people face in the workplace, and their answers may surprise you.

The workforce is an opportunity-packed chance for people with disabilities to demonstrate that there are no such things as barriers associated with a diagnosis.

At neba, weโ€™re working to remove those barriers every day so that people with disabilities and other marginalized groups can find meaningful work and community inclusion. ๐Ÿ’ผ

Together, we can redefine what inclusion looks like. ๐Ÿ’ช

Transformation starts with one brave step, and we see it every day in the people who rise, adapt, and redefine whatโ€™s possible.

When we choose courage over comfort, that becomes the catalyst for growth. ๐ŸŒฑ

At neba, we see transformation every day through guiding people with disabilities to take bold steps toward independence and meaningful employment.

This quote reminds us that possibility begins with perspective. At neba, we see this truth every day in the determination, creativity, and resilience of individuals with developmental disabilities as they achieve meaningful employment. ๐Ÿ’ซ

Together, weโ€™re proving that nothing is out of reach when we believe in every ability. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’ช

Letโ€™s keep building a world where everyone has the chance to say, โ€œIโ€™m possible.โ€

As National Disability Employment Awareness Month wraps up, we at neba want to drop the final quote for October!

Belief is the first step toward transformation. By empowering individuals with developmental disabilities through inclusive employment, we help turn belief into achievement and potential into success. ๐ŸŒŸ

When organizations believe in inclusion, success WILL follow.
