A young Georgia company that began with a single conversation is now bringing support and relief to Georgians with cognitive deficits – and their caregivers, too. The story: https://gra.org/stories/1075/

We had the opportunity to join Georgia Research Alliance - GRA and speak with the Georgia House Small Business Development Committee about MapHabit’s journey from early research to real-world impact.

What stood out most wasn’t just the conversation about innovation. It was the growing recognition that supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities at scale requires new approaches.

Care systems are stretched. Caregivers are asked to do more with less. And independence isn’t something that can be achieved through human support alone.

Technology, when designed thoughtfully, can extend that support by helping individuals build routines, navigate daily life, and reduce reliance on constant oversight.

We are so grateful to be a part of the broader effort to rethink how support is delivered across Georgia and beyond.

Friday afternoon brings the annual gridiron showdown between UGA and Georgia Tech. But when it comes to university research, there’s no “clean old-fashioned hate” – quite the opposite, as this article shows:

If you’ve lived in Georgia long enough, you’ve almost certainly heard the friendly jabs tossed across divided Thanksgiving tables. On one side, a smirk and a mention of the “North Avenue Trade School.” On the other, a pointed retort: “To hell with Georgia.”

A half-century has passed since Alana and Harold Shepherd boldly started an enterprise specializing in rehabilitation. Their son, James, had suffered paralysis after a diving accident. Today, Shepherd Center is the nation’s premier center for helping individuals and families rebuild their lives after illness or injury. It is the model of excellence in patient care, research and family support.

GRA is proud to be a research partner of Shepherd Center, and we join many other individuals and organizations in celebrating the center’s golden anniversary in 2025. Cheers to a true Georgia gem!
