In recognition of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, we celebrate Arthur!

Arthur recently returned to work at Panera after several years away from the workforce. He previously worked at a local Panera for nine years and was thrilled to have the opportunity to return to a job he considers his dream job.

With support from Orchard Village’s Employment Team, Arthur worked toward his goal of returning to the workforce and successfully started his new position. His story is a great reminder of what NDEAM celebrates: the value, talent and contributions people with disabilities bring to the workplace, and the importance of creating opportunities for everyone to pursue meaningful employment.

Congratulations, Arthur, on reaching your employment goals! Orchard Village is proud to support people as they build skills, find meaningful work and reach their career goals.

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM)!

This year’s theme, “Celebrating Value and Talent,” recognizes the skills, talents, and contributions people with disabilities bring to workplaces, communities, and the economy.

At Orchard Village, our Employment Program helps participants pursue meaningful work based on their individual interests, goals, and aspirations. The employment team provides support every step of the way, from pre-job coaching and job searches to job placement and ongoing, on-the-job coaching.

If you’re an employer interested in partnering with Orchard Village to create employment opportunities for people with disabilities, we’d love to connect! Contact Alyson Halberstadt at [email protected] to learn more.

🌟 It’s DSP Week! 🌟

Orchard Village celebrates Direct Support Professionals (DSPs)—the backbone of care and support for individuals with disabilities. DSPs help with residents’ tasks for daily living. They help build skills and guide individuals toward achieving their personal goals.

As coaches, mentors, and advocates, they empower people to live independently and thrive in their communities. This week, Orchard Village honors their dedication and the life-changing impact they make every day. Thank you, DSPs!
