Jorden recently moved from a DASCH home with 24/7 support to our Independent Living apartment complex. We couldn't be prouder of everything he has learned and accomplished to reach this new chapter.

As he settles into his new place, Jorden decided to make short ribs to share with his neighbours in the complex. The group enjoyed a meal together and even brought one of their TVs outside so they could enjoy the nice weather and watch scary movies!

Go Jorden! Who knows what he'll cook up next! 🧑‍🍳

Some everyday tools you probably use all the time have surprising accessibility roots!
