💙 NDEAM Spotlight: Clason Reed

As we continue celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month, we're proud to spotlight the dedicated team members who help individuals build skills, achieve their goals, and become active members of their communities.

When asked what his work means to him, Clason shared:

"My work with the individuals we support gives me a sense of pride and purpose."

Inspired by a childhood experience that sparked a desire to make a difference in the lives of others, Clason finds the greatest reward in supporting individuals as they build independence, explore new opportunities, and become more involved in their communities.

His commitment reflects the spirit of this year's NDEAM theme: Celebrating Value and Talent.

As we continue celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month, we're highlighting the dedicated professionals helping people achieve their employment goals.

Today, we're featuring Bobby Romo, who works with individuals with a primary substance use disorder to help them pursue and achieve meaningful employment.

When asked what employment for people with disabilities means to him, Bobby shared:

"Employment for people with disabilities means giving an individual an identity, a voice, and the opportunity to empower themselves."

What does it take to make Employment First a reality?

This week, nearly 200 advocates, providers, educators, employers, and community partners gathered at the 2026 CT APSE Conference to explore just that.

We're proud that Carrie O'Connell and Kate Travis served as CT APSE Co-Presidents, helping lead this impactful event. Ability Beyond was also honored to serve as a Program Strand Sponsor, with three conference sessions led by our team, including John Schiller, Glenna Rains, Kevin Cooper, Griffin Hollis and Andrea Brunner.

Thank you to everyone working to create more opportunities for people with disabilities to achieve meaningful employment.
