Jason, Jacob + Javanna

Javanna and Jason… Jason and Javanna--- throw Jacob into the mix and it’s the three musketeers!  Those three will have you in stitches the entire time you get to hang out with them!  They love getting to go to ball games, out to eat and participate in Special Olympics basketball, softball and more!  The relationship that these three have with each other is so genuine- they’re basically family.

David + Deana

David and Deana—where to begin?! They met a number of years ago when Deana worked for Hopewell Industries before they privatized. Once that happened, she decided to go off on her own to become an independent provider. She and David have continued working together and they consider themselves family! David loves to spend time with Deana, her husband and their family. Recently, he learned how to drive the family tractor! You can clearly see how much they care for each other and how strong their bond is!

Kaden + Stephanie

Stephanie started working with Kaden just a few short months ago, but in that time they have formed such a strong bond!  She works with him a few times a week and they enjoy learning how to go to restaurants and she takes him to his appointments.  She has been working diligently with him to help him learn how to order his own food and how to pay for his food when they go out to eat.  She said that her favorite thing about working with Kaden is when they have been working diligently on something and she sees him have his “ah-ha!” moment!  She loves it when she can help him learn new skills to be as independent as he possibly can.  She can’t imagine doing anything else now that she has had this opportunity to help others.
