​October 1st marks the first day of National Disability Employment Awareness Month. We would like to kick this month off featuring Sean, a hardworking, dedicated, and inspirational Winters Bros. employee. He shows up to work to take on his recycling route with a purpose and a sense of fulfillment.

In September, Winters Bros. provided Sean with a truck of his very own. If you have seen Winters Bros. trucks on the road, you know that each and every truck has a theme. Sean chose Winnie The Pooh, and The Jungle Book for the theme of his truck. The sense of pride and happiness that Sean had when he was presented with his truck is truly unmatched.

Sean is the perfect example of when given the right opportunity and the proper support,  people with autism and other disabilities can do anything that they set their minds to.

​Austin and Chris share their experience in staying connected, engaged and productive while embracing the flexibility of working from home during this pandemic.
 

These radiant smiles are behind the powerful reason that propels us to advance our mission each and every day.

Meet some of the wonderful brothers in our lives....

Today, we celebrate our brothers, our closest friends, sidekicks and heroes that have our backs through life's ups and downs. And reflect on memories shared together, as well as lessons learned from one-another throughout the journey of our lives.

Regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your health and wellbeing.

Check out our video on Health & Wellness to learn more on benefits of regular exercise on one’s mental health and ways our Center is advancing its mission to create a happier, healthier and more fulfilled lifestyles for individuals with autism in our communities.

​It goes without saying that none of this would be possible without our kind, compassionate and dedicated DSPs, teachers and trainers who work tirelessly to make everything happen.
