We recently welcomed students from Stark State College Occupational Therapist Assistant program for a behind-the-scenes look at our programs and services. We got the chance to share how our teams support people with disabilities while introducing students to resources they may one day use in their own careers. Some highlights of the tour was exploring our Toy & Resource Center and seeing adaptive aids at work in our Prevocational program.

We're grateful for the chance to help inspire these future professionals!

Last week, UDS got a visit from Zoo-2-Go Animal Adventures and our day program participants couldn't have been more excited!

The mobile petting zoo brought a variety of animals to UDS including baby goats, a miniature horse and a miniature pig that loved belly rubs! Participants had the chance to get up close and spend time with the adorable animals.

We're grateful to the generous donor who made this experience possible. Their kindness brought so much joy to our building and created a day that participants and staff won't soon forget!

We love highlighting partnerships that expand access and awareness! Recently, Dr. Jocelyn Pettitt and Heidi Seymoure from UDS Low Vision Services had the opportunity to visit the studios of Seeing Eye Radio and sit down for an interview with Alex Yanculeff.

A service of Goodwill Industries of Akron, Seeing Eye Radio provides vital access to local and national news, information and community content for individuals with visual and physical impairments. During the interview, Dr. Pettitt shared how UDS's low vision clinic helps adults and children live more independently through specialized assessments, low vision aids, education and support services that can truly be life changing. Thank you to Alex Yanculeff and the Seeing Eye Radio team for helping spread awareness about the resources available to individuals living with low vision.
