Part of being an employee at Access Independence is assisting consumers with meeting their goals and living as independently as possible. We comfort them when they meet a failure and celebrate with them at their victories. It brings us great joy and some sorrow when a consumer reaches a new level of independence.
Recently one of our consumers has reached that victory of independence. Through receiving services through the CCC Plus Wavier program, this individual was able to obtain work from home employment assisting others on their benefits. They were also able to write a book about their failures and victories. Because of accomplishing this goal, the consumer will no longer be eligible for services, but they are eternally grateful for the support and assistance that Access Independence has offered them through out their service career.
