This comic was part of the comic anthology "Who We Are: Living With Cerebral Palsy, Vol 1."
“For over 30 years, Green Mountain Support Services has provided community –based supports for those with disabilities in northern Vermont. We stand out from other agencies in our mission statement. We “Empower Neighbors with Disabilities to be at Home in the Community.” We truly believe that. We do not do congregate or segregated settings and firmly believe that everyone has gifts and experiences to share. This is how people should be connected; through shared gifts, passions, and experiences, and not solely on their diagnosis.A part of what we do is to continuously educate the public on the day to day successes and challenges the people we provide services for the experience.We are fortunate to have a few people we know who have Cerebral Palsy tell us a story that is important to them. A few took the opportunity to give an overview of their lives, while others talked of a specific event that meant a lot to them.People are people and we all have a story to share. We all have our wisdom to impart, and we all can learn much from each other.Green Mountain Support Services is doing a small part in ensuring the people we work with and for have that ability to tell their story.”
