When you become a champion for people with disabilities, the impact is profound. People with paralysis stand and walk for the first time. Stroke survivors drive again. People with multiple sclerosis and traumatic brain injury improve their ability to learn and remember. Young adults with autism improve awareness of their personal strengths and their ability to self-advocate. Jobseekers with disabilities find satisfying employment and become self-sufficient.
