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! 🙌

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. 🌟
