TEMPE, AZ — A chance – that's all many people looking for a job want, but people with disabilities may face even more challenges when looking for job opportunities.

A kayaking story from the Northern Arizona Adaptive Sports Association (NAASA) a grant recipient

 

Letter from Monica and Keegan Evans

My son Gio will turn eight in two weeks. His journey has not always been easy. Gio loves Minecraft. He can tell you all about the different types of Minecraft and loves dragon fire. He loves dinosaurs and from a young age could tell anyone who would listen that the stegosaurus has an extra basal ganglia in its tail. Gio was three when we started noticing his difficulties with socialization and interacting with his peers.
