What makes Uniquely You special? It's the stories that connect us, the real, raw, and resilient lives behind every photo and every article. 💜

This free monthly publication is more than a magazine; it's a movement supporting Michigan's disability and special needs communities through connection, inspiration, and advocacy. 🙌

Inclusion isn’t a moment; it’s a mission. 💪

At STEP, every program, from skill building to employment coaching, is designed to ensure that people with disabilities feel valued, supported, and empowered to shine. ✨

Their holiday message is simple: belonging changes lives. ❤️

“I had one goal: to have fun. But I left with purpose, joy, and a new best friend.” ❤️

For CJ, attending Night to Shine was more than just a prom; it was a turning point. A red carpet moment turned into a lifelong connection. A dance floor became a space of dignity and joy. And what started as a fun night became a celebration of worth, faith, and community. 🙌

Night to Shine reminds us: when people with disabilities are seen, supported, and celebrated, the entire world shines brighter. ✨

Three children. Countless challenges. One unstoppable family. 💪

The Maver family’s journey is one of deep love, grit, and community strength. From autism and PANDAS/PANS diagnoses to Adam’s triumphant path to independence, every chapter reminds us that healing is possible and resilience is powerful. ✨

Tammy and Pete Maver are proof that trusting your gut, finding the right support, and fighting for your children’s future changes everything. ❤️

This is what inclusion looks like. 💛

At our sensory-friendly event at Sterling Heights Public Library, families connected, kids explored, and the entire space was designed with comfort and community in mind. From storytime to hands-on booths, it was a beautiful reminder: when we make room for everyone, everyone benefits. 🤝

Huge thanks to the library team and every vendor, volunteer, and family who made this day so special! 🙌

When behavior becomes a barrier to learning, students don’t need punishment; they need a plan. 💡

This month’s Advocate Like A Mother column breaks down how FBAs and BIPs can empower children with disabilities to succeed with dignity. Knowledge is power, and this article arms families with exactly that. 💪

Charlene’s journey toward independence began with a single brave step, reaching out for support. ❤️

Born legally blind and hard of hearing, Charlene faced a world not built with her in mind. But with determination and help from Judson Center’s vocational program, she gained confidence, learned job skills, and built lasting friendships. 🤝

Today, she’s not only thriving at work, she’s giving back as a hospital volunteer, showing others what’s possible when support meets purpose. 🌟
