The ILRC travels to Washington, D.C.

On my trip to the Capital, I had the exciting opportunity to visit the National Council on Independent Living. After a very successful goalball tournament, losing in the final became secondary when I noticed that the tournament was all put together by individuals with disabilities.

Meet Thelma Brown

Though Brown had Medicare, she didn’t have secondary insurance and the bills piled up. She didn’t have the funds for equipment she needed after surgery – a walker, bath chair, mobile chair and a ramp at her hour.

Meet Latrell Jackson

Latrell Jackson is a 16-year-old who attends school in Duval County and is part of the ILRC’s RAMP program, Ready to Achieve Mentoring Program, a career-focused program for youth with disabilities.

Meet Angie Miller

“My parents told me that the work was mine,” said Angie Miller. “If you want the world to treat you differently they will.”

Meet Immanuel Santos

Though the doctor told his mother that he would never walk or talk, Immanuel Santos has defied all of that with a sunny disposition and rapid fire conversation.

Meet Sherry Bell

Grandmother Sherry Bell was born deaf but it hasn’t stopped her from having goals for herself or her family.

Welcoming New Additions to the ILRC Family

We have recently welcomed Deidra Simon, Madison Stewart, Adriana Cheraso, and Jose Morales to the ILRC family! We are excited to see what they will bring to the team with their knowledge and experience helping the Jacksonville community.

Summer Camp Success

During the week, several guest speakers were invited to give presentations on credit, self-advocacy, and public transportation. The students completed STEM Projects on solar energy, wind energy, circuitry, and weather.
