💙Today, as part of our celebration of Disability Pride Month, we are highlighting PROVAIL’s Mobility & Communication program. Did you know? PROVAIL hosts the Pacific Northwest Adaptive Library, offering a solution to the lack of everyday gadgets designed for diverse abilities. Assistive Technology bridges this gap by providing tools that cater specifically to individuals with disabilities. Best of all, these tools can be checked out for FREE from our library! ➡️For more information, visit Pacific Northwest Adaptive Library @ https://lnkd.in/gfg5ZeRg The PNW Adaptive Library is made possible thanks to a partnership with the @Taskar Center for Accessible Technology and the @Husky Adapt student organization at the @University of Washington. Join us in celebrating Disability Pride Month and learn more about our impactful programs at www.provail.org. 📷 Accessibility Caption: The image shows a young boy in a wheelchair working with an occupational therapist.

Throughout July, to celebrate Disability Pride Month, we’re sharing how our programs empower people with disabilities to pursue their life choices. ➡️Did you know? An inclusive workplace benefits everyone and boosts the bottom line! Businesses that prioritize disability inclusion see 28% higher revenue, 30% higher profit margins, and double the net income of their peers. See Accenture’s full report @ https://accntu.re/3xQRLAc. Thanks to programs like PROVAIL's Employment Services, unemployment rates for adults with disabilities have improved. There's more work to be done and we are committed to making a greater impact. PROVAIL helps people with disabilities identify their strengths, goals, and options. We also assist businesses in identifying their needs and growth areas. By matching pre-qualified employees with employers and providing ongoing support, we ensure both parties feel confident and supported. Our focus is on abilities and future potential. Partner with PROVAIL’s Employment Services to build a truly inclusive workforce. Interested? Visit www.provail.org to learn more. Let's make a difference together! 📷 Accessibility Caption: The image shows a young man from PROVAIL’s Employment Services program stocking shelves in a grocery store.

🌟 Every July, we celebrate #DisabilityPrideMonth, marking the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) enacted on July 26, 1990. This year’s theme, determined by The Arc of the United States, is: WE WANT A LIFE LIKE YOURS At PROVAIL, we are driven by the belief that everyone deserves to live a full, self-determined life. Yet, we recognize that discrimination and barriers still exist for the 1 in 4 U.S. adults living with a disability. This reality underscores the importance of our mission and the work we do every day. This year, during Disability Pride Month, we are asking: ➡️Why is Disability Pride important to you? Share your thoughts in the comments below and join us in celebrating the resilience, achievements, and diversity of the disability community. Let’s work together to build a more inclusive world! 🌍 #DisabilityPride #InclusionMatters #PROVAIL #DisabilityAwareness 📷 Accessibility Caption: The image is an infographic visually displaying that 1 out of 4 adults in the US live with a disability. PROVAIL clients from our Employment Services, Mobility & Communication, and Home & Lifestyle programs are pictured with the caption, We Want A Life Like Yours.

A Treasured Parting Gift for PROVAIL’s Outgoing President & CEO, Mike Hatzenbeler ⚾️ We honored Mike with an Equity and Inclusion Champion baseball bat and ball in recognition of his 28 years with PROVAIL. Mike shared the following sentiments: “Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my PROVAIL journey. It has been quite a ride indeed. I'm very excited about what's next for me.” “The PROVAIL Board has already started the search process for my replacement, and the organization will remain well-guided. In the meantime, our current COO, Emily Kang Cantrell, is stepping in as interim CEO. We have an excellent Executive Team, amazing leaders throughout, and dedicated staff in every part of PROVAIL who will keep moving toward greater growth, impact, and inclusion.” #PROVAIL #InclusionMatters #InclusiveFuture

PROVAIL employees and clients gathered for a baseball-themed BBQ at PROVAIL headquarters to bid farewell to our outgoing President and CEO, Mike Hatzenbeler, and wish him well on his new career path. Mike built a truly inclusive and caring culture among our staff while leading groundbreaking work in our community that has become a benchmark in our field. He is leaving PROVAIL in great hands and in a strong position to grow and thrive. Thank you, Mike. You will be greatly missed! 💙 If you would like to contribute to PROVAIL’s Legacy Fund in Mike’s Honor, you can donate at https://lnkd.in/gTarDrmt. #Leadership #Farewell #InclusiveCulture #CommunityImpact #PROVAIL

Today, we honor Juneteenth, the day in 1865 when the last group of enslaved people in the Confederate states learned of their freedom. However, it is important to note that slavery was not fully abolished in the entire United States until the ratification of the 13th Amendment on December 6, 1865. Juneteenth is a symbolic date representing the practical end of slavery in the Confederate states. Let's celebrate Black communities' resilience, culture, and contributions as we continue the fight for equality and justice. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #CelebrateBlackHistory #TogetherWeGrow
