¿Are “Enviable Lives” Possible for individuals with disabilities? YES!

¿Es posible que personas con discapacidades tengan “Vidas Envidiables”? İSi!

Ann will share her family story of how her son, Jay, who experiences multiple disabilities, was able to move from an unenviable life in which he was expected to conform to the traditional service system to an enviable life—living on his own, working at the University of Kansas and hanging out with his friends.

Ann va a compartir una historia familiar sobre su hijo, Jay, que sufre de múltiples discapacidades. En un tiempo Jay paso de tener una vida no envidiable, en donde el tenía que ajustarse a un sistema de servicio tradicional, a una vida envidiable-viviendo independientemente, trabajando en la Universidad de Kansas y conviviendo con sus amigos.
