"As a person living with a disability, I have definitely experienced my fair share of obstacles. The great thing about working at reachAbility is the level of awareness and understanding in regards to being an employee with a disability. My work environment has allowed me to stay focused on my abilities and identify simple accommodations that are beneficial for me. Through my experiences at reachAbility, I have become more comfortable with my own disability and have gained new knowledge of other persons living with disabilities in our community".
