WAPADH enters 41st Year With Completion of Mentorship Project

WAPADH has never had very much money but we have incredible riches in our ideas and people.  These have translated into rich experiences for the consumers who use our services.  Gone are the days when a person with a disability had no say in their life, could not work, could not live in their own home and could not have an integrated, useful community experience.

The richness in ideas of inclusion and integration promoted by families and our community have brought a wealth of experience to the people we serve.

 WAPADH enters its 41^st year with  the completion of our first Mentorship Project for Communication Partner Support.  Check out our first graduating class below.  We see the next great frontier as bringing communication to the many consumers we serve who have little or no speech.  This is an example of a good idea bringing richness of experience to our consumers.
