Director, Steadfast Supported Living INC
"As an Agency Director working with adults with disabilities, what I really like about BBLT is that you have the structures in place to continually provide support for that client. So you’re not having to deal with lapses where you are having to wait for that individual care provider to get trained, because the structures are already there, where they are doing the hands on things."
CHRISTINA JONES, MSW
"As a Social Worker I am excited about the BBLT. What I love about working with the population that has traditionally been marginalized is helping them have a voice. And what I love about BBLT is that it fills a gap and gives empowerment to families and clients."

PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA
“I have shared the Idea of the BBLT Toolkit with a variety of friends, both colleagues and family members who have children with disabilities. And everybody I have talked to has been very excited about it. They have seen a need. Immediately I’d hear stories about how: “Oh, in this situation it would have been so helpful for my child” “In this situation, I had this client, and if we would’ve had the BBLT, it would have prevented an extended hospital stay . .” or “It would have prevented a team from having to spend an extended amount of time to figure out the best way for the child with a disability to communicate” Everybody has said, “When will it be available?” “How do I access it?” “How do I learn more about it?” So, I’m very excited about the potential and very excited to see where this goes. And I’m also excited to see how it can be beneficial to a variety of clients in a variety of situations."
KARI AHEARN, MAICS
"As a person serving vulnerable populations, I am excited how Build a Better Toolkit can help bring dignity to and empowerment to those who need it."
CLAIRE BRINKMAN
Special Education Teacher
"Why am I so Excited about BBLT and the Possibilities that it presents? Because, in my experience as a Special Educator, Continuity of Services is a Huge Piece in a child’s continued Success over the years. If you can have bridges that gap Changes in personnel, Changes in Setting and changes in needs, then that child or that client’s Potential is met even better than it was before. And what I love about BBLT is that it fills a gap and gives empowerment to families and clients."
SHANNON LOPER
Supported Living Program Manager
"One of the things that I really love about how Build a Better Life Toolkit is set up for our people to learn is that it is in modules that are easy to understand. And it breaks it down so that we are able to incorporate those things into their daily lives and really get to see how it positively impacts (the client) them."
