Programs for Individual & Family

This is an individualized program in which you may get help from us in your home or on the phone. It is geared for those who were recently diagnosed. We suggest… you decide.

We offer individuals- peer support, venting, connection to resources, tips for daily life. We will never answer your question rather we will provide you with options to consider. We offer families- a chance to vent and explain their perspectives. Everyone is accepted.

One of our tools is a pamphlet called “The Tenacity of Hope.” It is a booklet that includes thought- provoking questions on coping skills and ideas for daily life.
Inf bility: Sharing Information & Empowering People about Disability.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Infobility has two goals:
1) Inform the community with programs for schools, businesses, and outreach.
2) Empower people with disabilities through coaching, to improve quality of life.

Sharing Information
• Guest speakers may present disability awareness programs for students.
• In-services may be presented for employers on architecture and attitudes.
• Projects implemented and resource tables at various community events.

Coaching and Literature:
• Vocational Venues- This is a discussion on employment skills including interviews, applications, cover letters, and resumes.

• Paths to Progress- These are individual discussions, via telephone or email, to assist you in evaluating your life and improving your coping skills.

• The Tenacity of Hope- This is a self-help booklet to help you assess your needs by posing a number of though provoking questions.


* As a person, who has a master’s degree and a physical disability, I am aware of the challenges in life and solutions available. I believe that support from someone “who’s been there” can be very valuable. Try my FREE programs.

• Schedule an awareness program in your company or school.
• Plan a sensitivity project in your community or small group.
