Gloria: "We Can Do It" video

Our former colleague Jackie Kenley sent us this fabulous video called “We Can Do It!” on the work the Arc of San Francisco does with adults with developmental disabilities. Her daughter, Laura, who is deaf-blind, is one of the featured adults in the video. The video gives some examples of their life and work experiences. It is about 10 minutes long and worth every minute.  (Laura’s story starts at 3 minutes and 29 seconds.)

Here is the link to the video:

If you would like to know more about Laura’s and Jackie’s experiences on how Laura transitioned to supported living, please read the article written by Myrna Medina “Leaving Home: An Interview with Jackie Kenley” in our newsletter:
