Your story matters.

We're helping spread the word about an opportunity from Vanderbilt Kennedy Center's Tennessee Kindred Stories of Disability project.

Their next issue will focus on safety and criminal justice experiences for Tennesseans with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

Do you have a personal story about an interaction with first responders or law enforcement? Vanderbilt Kennedy Center is looking for stories from people with lived experience to include in this project.

Learn more and submit your story through Tennessee Kindred Stories of Disability.

Being online opens doors—to jobs, services, education, self-advocacy, and staying connected with others.

That's why we're sharing this free digital literacy training from The Arc. The self-paced courses cover practical topics like using a computer, navigating websites, email basics, mobile devices, and online safety. Training is designed to be accessible for people with disabilities and their families.

Digital skills are an important part of independence and community participation. If you've been looking for a place to build your confidence with technology, this may be a great resource to explore.
