🌿 Blossoming Hope on Staten Island 🌿

What was once a parking lot is now a thriving greenhouse at CP Unlimited’s Cora Hoffman Center. Here, people with disabilities are planting vegetables, harvesting fresh produce, and finding purpose in meaningful work.

Through a partnership with Smile Farms, the gardens supply local restaurants, farmers markets, and even create 'Heat with Heart' hot sauce 🌶️. Proceeds go directly back into programs that support independence and inclusion.

Every seed planted grows more than food. It grows pride, connection, and hope. 💚

Dr. Marjorie Aunos is breaking barriers for parents with disabilities through groundbreaking research!

“This is why my colleagues and I are working on several research projects. The first will ask families headed by parents with disabilities about their particular access needs while travelling in national parks and built environments. The second will ask parents and their children about their wellbeing as a family. For parents who acquire a disability and who may struggle adjusting, we are looking at validating a coaching program to support the transition so that they know how they can continue to contribute as parents in their kids’ lives.” – Dr. Marjorie Aunos

For more information about these research projects, email Dr. Marjorie Aunos at: [email protected]

Can Dyslexia Be an Asset?

In his own words, John Manzella explains, "Their genius didn’t occur in spite of dyslexia but, more likely, because of it." He reminds us that what may seem like a challenge can actually be a unique strength, crediting his own dyslexia for his ability to connect the dots in complex economic trends.
